About
I’m pursuing a degree in Liberal Arts with a focus on Library Science and Education. My passion for reading, writing, and helping others has shaped both my academic and personal journey. As someone who has overcome challenges with dyslexia, I strive to make learning accessible and empowering for every student. I believe that stories have the power to heal, connect, and inspire—and I want to use that power to make a difference in education and literacy outreach.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My goal is to become a librarian and literacy advocate, creating inclusive spaces that encourage a lifelong love of reading. I also plan to continue expanding my nonprofit, Rhett’s Love, to reach more families in need of comfort and community.
- Graduate school interests
I plan to attend graduate school in Library and Information Science or Education, focusing on literacy development, child engagement, and community outreach. My goal is to design programs that build confidence in young readers, especially those who struggle with learning differences like dyslexia.
- Outside the classroom
Reading & Writing – Especially stories that inspire hope, healing, and courage. You love writing both adult fiction (like A Million Promises) and children’s books (like Angel Skies and You Are My Rainbow).
Music & Songwriting – You write heartfelt country and Christian songs that reflect your faith, emotions, and life experiences.
Library & Literacy Outreach – You enjoy creating programs that help children build confidence in reading and writing, often inspired by your own journey with dyslexia.
Art & Design – You have a natural eye for watercolor and soft, meaningful visuals, which show up in your book illustrations and nonprofit designs.
Community Service – Through Rhett’s Love, you find deep purpose in making and delivering comfort boxes for grieving families.
Faith & Reflection – You find strength in your faith and often express it through poetry, journaling, and prayer.
Farm & Family Life – You enjoy time with your husband, daughter Selah, and your animals (especially your Selah’s Silkies chickens and ducks).
Nature & Photography – You love the outdoors, taking photos, and finding beauty in simple, everyday moments.
