Returning to my roots, I am embarking on a second career long overdue. I studied Journalism and English Literature at UGA but left one quarter shy of a B.A. due to health issues. I have been writing poetry since early childhood and am currently writing a creative non-fiction memoir. The submission journey is a recent endeavor to cull feedback and constructive criticism to strengthen my craft. I enjoy online seminars and workshops and have been an avid participant in Zona Rosa workshops led by my mentor, author Rosemary Daniell.
