Music is my first language. I'm a published author, spoken word poet, photographer and violinist hippie chick who loves fast cars, quick wit and real jazz.

At the age of 5, I began training as a Suzuki violinist. I also began "writing" stories and poems by using shapes. By age 8, I was writing the Kindergarten naptime stories for our parish, and penned my first book by age 9. I've always known. Writing isn't what I do, it's who I am.

My first book, entitled Christians Under Construction is an eclectic collection of inspirational poems. 'A Woman of Purpose', my second book, is a personal collection of poetic expressions addressing spiritual solutions for modern women of faith. The book was inspired by the reevaluation of how we can all unlearn toxic habits and behaviors by faith, and change how we interact with and respond to the world. A Woman of Purpose celebrates how by faith, we can make right choices, have healthy relationships and be victorious despite obstacles, emotions and biases.

As a creative writer, I have experiences or make an observations that need to be processed, and that's when I begin to write, believing for an effective spiritual solution to face every earthly challenge. From this practice I've learned there's always a blessing in the lesson. I write every day and I'm quite sure that I'll have a project in progress on the nightstand till the very end.
