Tina began writing poetry, as well as short stories, at the age of eleven. Even at this early age, she used poetry to express those things in her heart that she could not articulate with spoken words. Poetry is the medium that she finds not only comfort and strength, but also an unleashing of joy, pain, healing and passion. Through her writings, she hopes to convey the many faces of love; how the heart and soul responds to the seesaw motions of love. Tina is a Registered Nurse who is currently completing her Bachelor's degree in both Psychology and Religion at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.
