I graduated with an Associates in Criminal Justice from the Northwest Community College and am pursuing a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Mississippi. I've been published twice in the Elegant Literature Magazine, once in an anthology of supernatural short stories, and my One-Act Play won first place in the school stage of the Southern Literary Festival and is out for judgement now. My goal is that everyone who wants to write will see they can be a strong and skilled writer. Whether your pursuit is purely academic or your dream is to make it in writing, I want to help. I have worked with students from 13-17 in an award winning public library (Largo Public Library) and have lead critique and discussion with many professional level authors in my classes at UofM.
