The first time I shared a poem was on a rock. Surrounded by other new artists and friends, I stood up on a 3in high makeshift stage next to the sidewalk where we were talking and performed. When I stepped off, the excitement was tangible and inspiration was so thick others wanted to share too--songs, poems, stories. This moment is what it means to be an artist to me--be vulnerable and connect with some part of someone else; be inspired in return until we all share our strengths and create joy.

I went the University of Houston and got my B.A. in Creative Writing. I've performed in shows around Houston and Dallas. I've written songs for the church and sang and played piano with the band. I have worked throughout Houston teaching poetry in HISD, SBISD and GISD. I have created and run workshops for different communities in Houston from children to adults.
