For as long as I can remember, I’ve put pen to paper, using words to make sense of the world around me, to dig deep and express myself, and to playfully create. As a child, I wrote adventure stories. As a teen, I joined the ranks of anguished poetry writers. And as a young adult, I used my journal to explore what it meant to feel different.
 

But it wasn’t until my late twenties that I began to believe that I could actually “be” a writer. With a group of women, I started exploring writing as a means of creative expression. The support and praise I received from the group allowed me to take next steps: writing for publication and eventually becoming self-employed as a professional writer.
 

Over the course of 20 years, my business has now expanded to fulfill a deep calling of mine: supporting and inspiring those who long to create. I’ve written two books: Writing Your Way: A 40-Day Path of Self-Discovery and Solo Camino: An Empowering Guide for Women.
