Growing up in the mining city of Elko, Nevada, she developed a love for reading and telling stories but set it aside for several years while dealing with the trials of life. While obtaining her BSE in Secondary Education, her love for writing was rekindled and she began to put her ideas down on paper, all the while incorporating the lessons that she has learned. Her work has since been published in literary magazines, and she is now a High School English teacher in Missouri. She enjoys spending her free time writing, playing the ukulele, taking photographs, and hiking with her dog.view less
