I am a creative and wildly romantic girly girl who loves poetry, writing, theater, ballet, pink crayons, Shabby Chic, Lord of the Rings, Godspell, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, zombies (they are funny), the St. Louis (Los Angeles) Rams (and winner of the FIRST Super Bowl in a new millennium), renaissance festivals (and jousting). I enjoy science fiction, probing into the deep, dark mysteries of black holes, building sandcastles on the beach while watching an octopus escape from a sealed jar... my favorite pet..., and observing a ladybug explore the complexities of a rose.

I am currently attending the Nazarene Bible College and I am studying to become a minister.

I am also a freelance magazine and newspaper writer whose numerous publications have appeared in Country Almanac, The Forum, and the Fayetteville Observer. I have received several awards for my essays and educational exhibitions in Marine Biology, and for a French children's book. I was also the Senior Writer/Consultant for a children's television workshop series and I was the Senior Writer/Editor for a small publishing company. I was an At-Large Executive Committee Member for a worldwide organization for three years where I wrote/edited recovery books, pamphlets, and magazine articles.
