“In my free time, I enjoy our mountain home with my husband and two kitties. Each day brings a changing view of the beautiful foliage, which we enjoy as we drink coffee in the mornings on the front porch. I have a passion for writing; recently, I have shifted from poetry to songwriting, using it as a way to process my emotions and life changes.”
