Living in New York and having worked for 36 years as a registered nurse, I have experienced countless events in my life and career, making house calls to the elderly, working in shut-in environments, and caring for people after surgery.

I have been writing poetry since I was 16. Similar to my life experiences as a nurse, and currently as a nurse educator, I nurture the poems I write. My poems are my children, continually shaping them to create my unique works. I have read at poetry readings and have been published in several small literary reviews in Long Island, Texas and the International Society for Poets.

My book Visions is a compilation of works from ages 16 to 33. This collection expresses lost and newly found relationships, job changes, and self discovery. I hope you enjoy reading my poems as much as I enjoyed writing them.
