As an Author/Poet and Artist, I have loved being in the arts since I was a kid. I am the Author of the poetry book "Sweethearts and Sorrows" and I have been published in magazines and journals all around the U.S and the U.K. My first publication was at age 8, when my short story "The Beach" was published in The Anthology of Young Americans. At age 5, I started dancing and have been an avid dancer and performer to date, having trained with The Sacramento Ballet. I love the arts, and I love being an Artist and Author!
