I have two bachelors degrees, one I obtained from Saint Mary's in Political Science and the other, from King's College in Journalism. I have self published a collection for contemporary poetry and two full length novels in a series. I'm currently working on new material and I recently entered in the CBC poetry collection for 2021. In addition, I have a strong feeling exciting things are yet to come.
