I have been both a high school and college English teacher for many years. I enjoy coaching students to become their best selves. I attended Florida State University even though I am originally from Arkansas! I stopped just short of my dissertation. My dream is to live and write in Paris.

I live in Fl, so I enjoy the water. In fact, I moved from Walton County in the Fl Panhandle so I could be close and swim with manatees. I love traveling and experiencing new cultures. I have been to South America three times and plan to return to Chile and Brazil. This Spring I am planning a trip to Florence, Italy.
