About the Author

My background: In the tapestry of my life, threads of compassion, resilience, and a profound appreciation for the beauty in simplicity have woven a unique narrative. As a seasoned nurse and holder of a science degree, my professional journey has been one of caring for others and understanding the intricate workings of the human experience. The ink of my poetic pen didn't flow spontaneously; it emerged from the rich soil of my diverse life experiences. Raised in humble beginnings, I learned to navigate the world through the lens of imagination, finding solace in the little things that often go unnoticed. The scarcity of my early years fueled a deep appreciation for life's nuances, a theme that echoes throughout my verses. My journey into the realm of literature began with a hurdle. A slight dyslexion presented challenges in reading, but a compassionate teacher, Mrs. Maranda, recognized the spark within me. At the tender age of 7, she prophesied that I would become a writer. This transformative moment left an indelible mark, inspiring me to embark on a path of self-expression. Beyond my poetic endeavors, I've self-published five children’s books, gratitude journals, Draw and Dream a Children’s Keepsake Coloring Book, To-Do Lists notebooks, Let Them Lotus journals and even a cookbook, infusing each creation with my own illustrations captured from travels and everyday moments. The images on the page mirror the beauty I've discovered in my surroundings, a testament to the power of observation and gratitude. In essence, my poetry is an exploration of the profound and the ordinary, a journey influenced by a background rich in contrasts and colored by the warmth of human connection.
