7th grade Language Arts

Writing is My Thing

I love to write and I know how to write well. I've been published in several different venues and presented my academic and creative work throughout the country. I am currently working on a novel. I believe everyone is a writer, and no matter what level you are at, I can help you improve and take it up a notch!

I really love music. I sing and play the flute & piano. Music is a big part of my life. Here are some of my favorite artists.

I Get Around

Although I am a Utah girl: born in Provo, lived in Morgan (until I was 8), then Washington; I've lived in a lot of places and have moved 17 times in 11 years as an adult. I live in Bloomington now with no plans to move anytime soon!

I Love Animals

I like animals--especially dogs, although I am highly allergic to them. Here is my pup Sally (English Bulldog, 8 yrs.). I also have a cat who hangs around. Random facts: I'd love my own llama & I like turtles:)

I love taking pictures, whether they are of my family or of nature. I've been lucky to have a couple published. Watch out--you'll be appearing on my blog!
