New Orleans, LA MFA in creative writing from the University of New Orleans Creative Writing Workshop, BA in journalism from Northern Illinois University. Have many undergrad hours at Louisiana State University. I am a grad of the Spring 2021 Greater New Orleans Master Naturalist program. The program focuses on the Pontchartrain Basin habitat and what humans need to do to keep it viable. I submit poetry to national journals for publication. I love gardening, the natural world around us and hope to mentor and support STEM programs in public schools in New Orleans through the Master Naturalist program. I would love to mentor transwomen who need to navigate as their more authentic selves in a support program of some kind on how to dress, wear makeup, speak, cook: whatever is needed.
