Teacher, mother, and wife, not in that order. I’m an extreme Florida girl who's never seen snow. I believe white should be worn at funerals, not black. Studied at the University of Central Florida for a BA in English. I am a member of the Florida Writing Association. If I can avoid close-toed shoes, I do. Born from Cuban immigrant parents I spoke Spanish before I spoke English. If you ever see me staring blankly into nothing, then my head is in a story.
