i have been writing poems since i was a teenager. i write from life experiences and things that i see in everyday life. i try to paint images with my words to keep the reader involved and inspire them. my influences are my husband and children and people i come in contact with every day.

i have recieved the editors choice award from poetry.com and had one of my poems "wishes" chosen for an anthology book. i have also gotten some great reviews from the poets workshop.
