As a passionate writer and self-published author, I immerse myself in the vibrant world of words. My love for poetry is a constant, but I also find immense joy in music, especially when playing the guitar. I also enjoy the fusion of technology and creativity. It fuels my imagination and inspires my work.

Born in Culpeper, VA, my journey has been one of resilience and discovery. During my education, I faced the first of many challenges when I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, also known as “Manic Depression.” This was the beginning of a long road involving numerous doctors, various prescriptions, hospital stays, and countless therapy sessions. Each step brought me closer to understanding my mind. After years of perseverance, I was finally diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder.

According to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness):

“Schizoaffective disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized primarily by symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hallucinations or delusions, and symptoms of a mood disorder, such as mania and depression.”

Through these experiences, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of myself and my craft. Writing has been both my escape and my way of making sense of the world. It has allowed me to share my stories, emotions, and perspectives with you, creating a bridge of connection and understanding.

My poetry is a reflection of my soul, a canvas where I paint my innermost thoughts and feelings. It’s a journey through the highs and lows, the light and the dark, capturing the essence of my existence. Beyond the written word, I strive to embrace each day with curiosity and an open heart, always seeking new inspirations and ways to grow.

Thank you for being a part of my journey. Through my words, I hope to inspire, comfort, and connect with each one of you. Let’s navigate this beautiful, complex world together, one story at a time.
