One of my earliest memories is of writing. Poems, little stories by a little girl... words were the best presents that I could give. I grew up writing poetry and participated in the Chicago poetry scene in my twenties. At that time I was also painting and testing the fit of my voice in longer writings.

I taught English in the public school system from some of Chicago's most challenging neighborhoods to those struggling economically in Phoenix. After moving to Los Angeles, I taught food history and writing to culinary students, and completed an MFA in creative writing at Antioch University, Los Angeles. I am currently completing the sequel to A Sigh for Life's Completion, and teaching at a private school in Eagle Rock. I've learned, that no matter where I go, it is always my privilege to witness the strength of humanity rising from adversity.

I'm drawn to issues of social alienation; loneliness; the search for purpose and meaning in life; the tug of right against wrong within us all; and the beauty that can be found in surviving the odds. 

I believe is that there is probably a lot more to this world than we can comprehend and I feel that we need to question our concepts of truth and reality. It is a bit pompous to assume that we, the human race, know everything there is to know. In other words, it might be a good idea to consider the possibility that what we thought impossible is in fact, perhaps, probable.
