Writing has been a special part of my life since the first time I held a yellow #2 pencil between my tiny fingers to trace the letters of the alphabet. As I discovered those letters could form words and those words would become sentences, I spent joyful hours perfecting a steady flow of written notes.
My handwriting was favored by my teachers and was utilized on the classroom blackboard every day. By the age of ten, I was writing short stories and skits. By middle teens, I was writing plays, soliciting my siblings for character portrayals.
My writing continues to this present day filled with gratitude as my work comes to fruition on stages with unprecedented bookings of performances, rave reviews, and accolades and in print on the pages of newspapers
