Since third grade, all I wanted to do was write. Now I'm at a place in life where I can, and I couldn't be happier. I love story and telling them in various formats. I'm always learning. Adult dystopian fiction, thrillers and sci-fi are my favorite genres to write. However, I'm currently writing a new YA Mystery series. I've had short stories published in small literary magazines under another name and have performed at several venues in Washington state as a storyteller and spoken word artist. My work has been featured on podcasts, stages, and virtual spaces.I'm a military veteran and am involved in the veteran art community. Through the power of story, I've shared my experiences from the military and as a veteran through speaking engagements and public performances.
