Thank you for visiting my portfolio!

I have curated a collection of pieces - a little bit of nonfiction, poetry, and blogs. Short fiction to be included soon!

Like many of us, I journal everyday what is going on inside my head and heart. When I am thinking about publishing a work, I go deeper into short form and long narratives. With my recent completion of a full length memoir, Deer, Dragonfly, and Cardinal (Jan. 2025, Barnes and Noble), I am prearing to write the sequel. I also intend to write a book that chronicles my zany and wonderful personal highlights during my years as a performer - the tentative tile is “Theater Daze.”

I am highly descriptive and write with themes in mind, offering up the big picture with an ability to connect. My writing style is authentic, honest, relatable, and unadorned, and the intent is to bring the reader to emotional places.

I hope you enjoy reading my stories.
