I have been writing and creating books since I was five. I now run Tangent Literary Arts Magazine, a print publication based in Buffalo, NY. I just graduated with my bachelor's in psychology and currently work as a mental health counselor. I am engaged to a sweet, honest man who tells me everyday how beautiful I am. We never fight about anything except which submissions to include in the issues of Tangent. He is also a writer, with a very different style than my own. My writing is usually based on reality, how I see the world and how it makes me feel. I am honest and open in my writing; it often reveals parts of my psyche that people don't expect.

On the outside, I appear to have an ideal life. But it's just an illusion. There's always more to the story; you just have to dig deeper.
