A writer of poetry, born and raised in southern Louisiana. My formal education is in Ecology, for which I have earned a Masters of Science at the University of Louisiana Lafayette. However, calling myself a self-taught artist would be a disservice to the many writers I have shamelessly imitated over the years. While ecology is no longer my field of study, it has afforded me a curiosity and fascination with nature that I retain in my creative work. As a poet, I am interested in symbols, the reflection of the inner self in the mundane, and the unique quality of nature to sometimes defy interpretation. My work has been presented as part of the LOUDHOUSE artist collective and can be found on Instagram @audgirlwrites
