How long have you been writing poetry?: I have always been a writer. Poetry is the best way I have found to express myself and relate what I see and experience.

What/Who inspires you to write?: I am inspired by everyday events and simple situations. For me there is poetry in everything,every encounter, every event, every situation. It is seeing that poetry in simplicity that I wish to capture on a page.

Favorite Quote or Motto: "Dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening, love like you've never been hurt and live like its heaven on earth."
