I was active in MANY things. I played basketball, volleyball, and softball. I was also involved in band, student council, National Honor Society, and various other clubs.

I married Frank Wood in 2004 and moved to Missouri. We now have two active boys, Frank Jr. and Gary. I have had a passion for writing my entire life. I published my first poem when I was around ten years old. I enjoy writing for children as well as poetry, plays, magazine articles, musical lyrics and musical composition. I hope to continue writing for many years. The most important things to me are my faith in God, my family, and my friends.
