She developed a fondness for writing and creating things at an early age. Writing was a creative expressive technique that she used to talk about various subject matters, such as relationships, domestic violence, friendships, and more. These subjects were mainly expressed in the form of poetry.

She has performed in front of audiences at The National Black Book Festival, Inspired Word NYC, The Ohio State University, Newark Public Library (New Jersey), Laughin & Loungin, Writing Wrongs Poetry open mic events, and other places around the country. Her hard work finally paid off in August of 2010 when she released her first book titled, Dead Wrong. She has written 21 books/Kindle Vellas with 2 Children’s Books in development.

Her Bachelor of Arts Degree is in Health Promotion and Fitness from Otterbein University. She was awarded the Diversity (2018) and Leadership and Citizenship Award (2019) from Otterbein University due to planning and creating programming and collecting literacy items for disadvantaged populations.
