Wisdom cries out in time. In our transitions, She raises her voice.

About
My Story
You and I, we're stories that our lives write moment to moment. I write to remember where we’re from.
Like any creative, I had to adapt. In 2000, this meant teaching high school English. As my teaching career evolved, so did my love of text.
I started writing intentionally in 2012. I needed more direction, so I sought a poetry MFA in 2018.
I continued growing in conferences with the Community of Writers ('21) and Kenyon Review ('22). I feel honored to have been nominated twice in 2023 for the Pushcart Prize.
By grace, I live in a story that I enjoy reading.

The organization is perfect. [STOP].
I learned so much from it. [STOP].
