Her current adventure working as a high school English professor turned Media Specialist, writing, and doing paranormal investigations doesn't slow her down from having a great time with a plethora of hobbies. Her published credits include short stories, poetry, several journal articles, her doctoral dissertation, and her award-winning book Strength of Spirit. She is a staff writer for The Daily Dragon at Dragon Con. She currently has six degrees, so there is a major passion for learning. Who knows? There may be more down the road.
