I am, by profession, LPN and I plan to earn my license for RN. I am a lover of poetry, spoken word and short stories. I have been writing poetry since grammar school, but I became serious about it maybe 10 years ago.  I have yet to grace the stage to perform spoken word, but it is one of my goals. My family are my greatest influences and critics of my work. I do have many favorite authors that I have been inspired by. My most favorite is Langston Hughes. In my work, I wish to inspire, motivate, and empower people to open their minds and souls to new thoughts and to pursue the talent that lies inside of them.      

I have published a book of poetry called "In Between the Eyes of Thought 2007 lulu.com
Several awards for different poems on different poetry sites.
I am a Chapbook winner
