BIO
When I set out to earn my Master's in English, the goal came from a desire to learn more about what I love in order to pass that deeper knowledge on to my students. Even if words are not their passion, words give life to what is. From this love of language, literature, and expressions of life, I pursued the courses which precipitated the pieces housed in this portfolio. I invite you to explore what I have produced and to stay tuned for where I am headed.
