Growing up, I kept a journal or diary on and off to chronicle my thoughts and feelings. But quickly, that turned into me writing a fiction series in middle school- that I lost; never was able to find those notebooks :(. Later, I started writing poetry in high school and switched between poetry and fiction throughout college. 

 

I always found a way to tell my stories through creativity: whether it was drawing, hair expression, music, or writing.

 

I earned my Bachelors in English with a concentration in Writing before returning to my home city of Memphis, TN to become a teacher. While focused on my teaching career, I decided to get my Masters in Education.

 

But, of course, years in the classroom and a pandemic lead me to realize my childhood dream: to become an author. So I picked back up the pen and started planning out a story, did NaNoWriMo 2021, and now I'm here!
