When you were little, did you have a hard time deciding what to be when you grew up? Yeah, me too. So, I decided to do all the things.

In my past life chapters, I have been a drama geek, an obnoxious teenager, a world traveler, a youth minister, a Domer (#lovetheenotredame), a campus minister, a magazine editor, a doll maker, a farmer, an almost nun, and a fountain pen addict. Today, I continue my trend of taking on way too many things but kicking ass in all of them by working as an educator in English composition and literature as well as being a writer, blogger, artist, calligrapher, PhD in Xicana literature, planner addict, friend, daughter, mentor, and, most importantly, the dog mom to the best furbaby you could ask for, Niles. It may seem like I have too much going on, but a few years ago I received the opportunity to take a second chance on life and I’m planning to rock it.
