The love of children is what motivates me to create works that foster happiness and self awareness. I don't believe there is anything better than helping a child. With a Bachelors of Science in Psychology (Park University) and a Master of Arts in Counseling (University of Texas at San Antonio) and the experience I earned raising my own children, I know the workings of and what motivates the young mind. ​
​
I believe that reading is essential to the development of a child. Reading sparks the imagination and helps children aspire to accomplish great feats and overcome challenges; helping them to believe they can do anything they want to do or be anything they want to be.
My dream of being a writer became reality in 2015 when my first two books, How Fish Learned to Swim and Domino the Donkey (A Christmas Tail) were published by the Vassarris Publishing Group.
​
Thanks to all of my readers who help me to continue my dreams!
