She writes both prose and poetry, but it is the latter she is drawn to most, with inspiration for her poems often stemming from personal experiences. Her work has appeared in various journals, magazines and anthologies, and she has authored two chapbooks and one children's book: Worthy (Kelsay Books, 2017), Little Suites (Prolific Press, 2019) and Bitty Brown Babe (Beaming Books, 2019).
