I completed lyric writing courses at the Berklee College of music online (e.g., "Lyric Writing: Tools and Strategies" and "Lyric Writing: Writing From the Title"). Berklee is the world's
preeminent college for the study of music.

I am a member of Nashville-based SongTown, a world-wide songwriting community curated by best-selling songwriters, artists, and industry pros, for those in the music industry looking to level-up their songwriting. I have completed eight of their intensive "crash courses," as well as their in-depth Lyric Masterclass and the Advanced Lyric Masterclass.

I am also a member of the NSAI (Nashville Songwriting Association International).

I bring to my work a diverse background that also includes a Bachelors of Science Degree in Recreation Therapy and a Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree in Painting and Printmaking, both from Virginia Commonwealth University. I had a twenty-year career as an artist, painting with oils on canvas, before transitioning to writing poetry and music lyrics. I have been fully devoted to lyric writing for the past five years.
