BEHIND THE WORDS
My writing roots
My journey as a writer began in the 1990s when my Granny gifted me my very first typewriter. Even as a child, I found joy in capturing my thoughts, dreams, and reflections through journaling. Writing became my way of processing the world, preserving memories, and giving life to my imagination. Over the years, it evolved into a passion for storytelling, fueled by a deep desire to connect with others through shared experiences. Now, I feel it’s time to take the next step—to share my story, my journey, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
My background
I’m originally from North Carolina but currently living in Georgia. I’m an author and a legal professional with a background as a paralegal. In my day-to-day, I work as a Contract Coordinator in the Office of General Counsel for the New York City Department of Education, focusing on administrative law and special education claims. Outside of work, I’m a storyteller at heart, sharing personal experiences and insights through my writing. When I’m not writing or working, I love spending time outdoors—whether it’s fishing, boating, or playing with my six dogs.
My style
My personal approach to writing is rooted in authenticity and connection. Whether crafting personal stories, educational analyses, or even family recipes, I aim to weave together rich detail and emotional resonance. My style balances relatability with insight, often drawing from my own experiences to illuminate broader themes. I prioritize clarity and structure, ensuring my work is accessible and engaging, yet always backed by thoughtful research and a deeper purpose. Writing for me is about storytelling, reflection, and offering a perspective that encourages understanding and growth.
