Having spent most of her life battling mental illness, she found her balance and her voice while living on the beach in the Outer Banks of NC. Moving across state to the mountains, she now joyfully resides in Asheville, NC. She is currently enthusiastically designing her own greeting card line which combines her short verse poetry with her photography. She hopes to have her cards for sale to the public by April 2014, with all net profits donated to help those struggling with mental health issues in the Western North Carolina area.
