I know what it feels like to have big dreams and no clear path to follow. As a first-generation writer, I started with nothing but a love for stories and a desire to create something meaningful. I poured my energy into everything, often unsure of where to begin or how to build the writing life I envisioned.

But words have always been my constant. I spent six years in college, driven by an insatiable love of learning, and devoted 16 years to teaching English—guiding students in high schools, community colleges, and universities to find their voices and tell their stories. Along the way, I discovered that writing isn’t just about putting pen to paper; it’s about carving out a space for yourself, your history, and your imagination.

Breaking molds wasn’t easy, but it taught me how powerful it is to follow your passion and embrace your own journey. Today, I’m here to help others do the same—because writing isn’t a competition; it’s a way to connect, create, and grow.
