Biography:
I was born the youngest of three children, on August 28th. Through exotic foods, custom clothing, hand made furniture... the arts have surrounded me since inception. The lyrical form took shape as I began to scribble lines that created words. In elementary school I belonged to Young Authors and won selected publications. I continued to write for Museum openings, docent catalogs, as an Arts Editor for 45,000+ distribution, online freelance work, Philanthropy Columnist, books and more. Travel became a large part of my life from an early age. We would pack the car and go to national parks in the summers. Spend hours playing in the dirt and watching our fishing line bob as we got nibbles. In 6th grade we moved to Europe which opened an entirely new world of travel, and in 8th grade humanitarian projects began and experience started to paint the canvas for the life I am to live. I am an adventurer, a writer, an educator, an artist, a designer, and I believe that you can be all these things and still have passion. Life is a passion of mine and travel creates the script for my life...please enjoy the acts that I have created in my play. Let the Show Begin.... and continue...
