CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I lived in Paris for a little while in 2006, then I moved to Seoul where I taught English. I had to have emergency surgery in June of 2007 so I made the decision to come back home to Texas.

While in Paris, I was a guest writer at the famed Shakespeare & Company. It was a fantastic experience that I wouldn't trade for anything. I love to write but I never let anyone read it. I love to dance but only in the shower. I can't sing. I played the piano for ten years. I was a ballet dancer for ten years. I hate checking my voicemail and will let them pile up for months. I love love love classical and electronic music. I am an insomniac. I love Ernest Hemingway and Paulo Coelho. I'm not too fond of James Joyce. Oliver Stone is wonderful.
