NEW:
“Strong Heart: A Story of Coming Home”
This is my first collection of published poetry. STRONG HEART is a deeply personal and evocative collection of poetry that weaves a powerful narrative of resilience. Through lyrical verse, this book explores the raw emotions of rejection, anxiety, motherhood, and the complexities of human connection in a rapidly changing world.

“…her sweet collection is one step toward a lovelier world where “we—humans—are capable of greatness.”
Each poem is a piece of a larger story-one of struggle, self-discovery, and strength. From the heartache of feeling unseen to the triumph of reclaiming one’s voice, this collection resonates with anyone who has ever felt unseen, passed up, worried, and lost.
For readers who find solace in poetry that is both deeply introspective and universally relatable, Strong Heart offers a journey through pain, healing, and empowerment.
If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, love, or the weight of the world’s expectations, these poems will remind you: your heart is stronger than you think.
