I have two degrees one in pharmacy and the other in Business mgt. I'm a single mother of one. I'm a survivor of cervical cancer and battle daily the disease known as Endo. I enjoy reading, writing and spending time with family and friends. I find writing as a form of therapy it allows me to release whatever feelings I may be having or aids in the release of circumstances in my life.
About Me - Professionally
I have worked in the pharmacy industry 6+ years and haven't had the opportunity to work as a manager due to I recently graduated. I decided June of last year to write my first non-fiction short story while recovering from one of many surgeries, I felt it necessary to tell my story for the strong belief that it will and has helped others stay positive and gain faith when it seems that things aren't getting better. I've now since then self published a total of five eBooks all touching on different matters yet still with the same goal: to inspire, help, noticed and to let others know they're not alone. My last two eBooks are more my passion which is poetry, it is raw and emotionally written because I believe that when words come from the soul they'll reach many. I do not focus on grammar and such for I've always been known for my unorthodox and freewrite style, this is what keeps my words fresh and attached emotionally. My goal as an author is to simply help others that are going through similar life changes as myself. We, for some reason tend to think we're alone and my inspirational writings shows that we're not.
