I live, work, and play around the San Francisco Bay as a nanny, student, and spoken word artist. My previous education is in Child Development; I am currently studying Creative Writing and Psychology. I hope one day to combine my passion for our humanity with my knack for creativity and work professionally with troubled youth in achieving a positive identity. I believe the power of poetry and the use of expression can help guide the development of emotionally vulnerable individuals as it did, and continues to do, for me.
