Her poem Anna's Leap was printed in the Artifacts Nouveau Spring 2017, vol. 3.2, ( A Writer's Guild publication) while she attended San Joaquin Delta College. "She mixes alchemical magic with mythology, psychology, and "word-ology", said her former creative writing professor Paula Sheil. Her poem Fragile Strength was performed with New Dance Company of Stockton, Ca., at the 24th Annual Dancing Poetry Festival, 2017, in San Francisco, Ca. Her undergraduate academic education is in Psychology. She has professional and personal experience with trauma, loss, and psychological healing.
