The youngest of thirteen children, I grew up in a small town in Northern California learning to love nature and time spent with family. In 2007 I graduated from Humboldt State University with a Liberal Studies Degree, with an emphasis in Child Development, and a minor in English, specifically in writing. I later obtained my masters degree in Psychology. I love reading, writing, camping, cooking and acting. I plan to publish more books in the future, and I am extremely excited about finishing my book, My Mother's Heart Songs. I was so blessed to have had such an amazing mother who left me such an incredible gift.
