I grew up in a small town with not many options for fun. Reading and writing became my hobbies. I started writing poems at the age of eight. My first published poem was an obituary poem, as tribute to my grandmother. I wrote short stories in high school and became the editor of my school's newspaper. I have to thank my supporters that motivated me to publish my work for others to read. When I'm not writing, I enjoy encouraging others, listening to jazz music, crafting, and spending time with loved ones.
