Poet | Author

My writing journey began in childhood. I wrote my first poem when I was eight years old, and I haven’t stopped since. Because of the power of words, I’ve been exploring different worlds without leaving the comfort of my home.

But my home had its limits. The small country town made my dream of being a writer feel out of reach. I explored careers in childhood education, veterinary technology, and dentistry, but the longing to dive deeper into the words ached at my fingertips.

So, I stretched beyond the bounds and earned a certificate in proofreading. The extra knowledge fueled my desire to learn even more about the literary world, and I pursued another certificate in editing and publishing.

Over the years, my aspirations have bloomed from my personal writings to custom poems for those who can’t find the right words. I speak the unspoken, planting your silent prayers in poetry. I know it can be difficult to put your story in someone else’s hands, but I approach each one with prayer, trusting God to guide my words in a way that honors the weight of your heart.

When I’m not tending to my love of words, I’m raising my family on a small farm in Pennsylvania. My husband and I value our way of life and the sturdy faith-based foundation that supports us. I love swimming, bike riding, and soaking up family time.
