I am a Southern writer, poet, storyteller, photographer, and self-published author of Love In Text: Between Lovers. After more than 20 years in higher education, including more than a decade as a consultant, I decided to make more room for a creative life that had been calling me for years. My professional background spans higher education administration, financial aid consulting, training, auditing, policy and procedure development, and leadership. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Management with an emphasis in Information Systems and a Master of Business Administration with a specialization in Accounting. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and English with a concentration in Fiction at Southern New Hampshire University, and I plan to continue my education in English and creative writing.

I believe our lives are made of stories—some spoken across kitchen tables and front porches, some carried quietly through generations, and some waiting years to find their way onto the page. My Southern roots, family history, faith, professional experiences, and lifelong love of words all shape my work. Rooted in memory, identity, love, grief, resilience, and the complicated beauty of being human, my writing explores how the past shapes us and how people survive, heal, change, and become.

Through poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and personal reflection, I write about what we inherit, endure, lose, and choose to carry forward. On My Life In Word, readers will find work drawn from both lived experience and imagination—stories of heartbreak and healing, faith and hope, family and memory, Southern life, and the quiet moments that often reveal the deepest truths about who we are.
