Hey, visitor!

I'm a 30-something Millennial woman currently serving as a contractor and sort-of ghostwriter for a company out of state. I graduated from college several years ago, but I'm always open to learning new things. When I'm not in work mode, I love writing, reading, watching YouTube videos, and going out and about. R&B and country music are my life. I'm passionate about writing, self-care, candles, fashion, and beauty. Not always in this order, though.
