Hello!  As far back as I can remember, I’ve been scribbling things down.  If you opened my closet, you’d find a box stuffed with journals, but I was always a little too afraid to put myself out there.  One day, browsing in a bookstore, I came across a book titled Feel the Fear…and Do It Anyway.  It was an “aha!” moment: instead of waiting for my fear to go away (unlikely), I challenged myself to share my writing in spite of it (and guess what—I survived!). My love of words, rhythm, and music lead me to poetry.  I’m grateful to be here.
