When I was a child, I wouldn’t stop reading. This developed an active imagination and a creative soul. My passion eventually led me to continue my education with a BA in English Language and Literature, and an MFA in Creative Writing. My education also developed my interest in teaching. Now I share my passion for all things creative with others through my books, live streams, and website.
