I am a drama teacher from Poplar Bluff, Missouri. This career has afforded me the freedom to write and produce my own work. I am so grateful to God for blessing me with the opportunity to work within my passion every single day.

"The Green Murders" - First Performed in April 2023 / Published by Heuer Publishing
"In-Laws and Outlaws" - First Performed in June 2023 / Seeking Publication
"Vacancy: A Comical Murder Mystery" - Yet to Be Performed / Seeking Publication
