Resume
Words are the way I perceive my world; a world that as a young girl was always full of stories and imagination. Maturing, I discovered a concrete world that I may not have liked much; it eventually became who I am. Writing is my art and my soul which is both fiction and non-fiction, a combination of both genres that we all experience each day. Most importantly, when I sit down to write I always want to research and to cover my facts so the reader knows that my words are ones they can turn to whether to relax, learn, or even to seek help.
Experience in writing feature columns, editorial pieces, articles, personal blog, poetry, and currently working on a novella.
