ABOUT ME

AUTHOR. POET. HEALER. STORYTELLER

I obtained my Juris Doctor Degree from Pepperdine University School of Law. I practiced U.S. immigration law for twenty-three years, and continue to practice Canadian immigration law. I've written a trilogy of poetry books. “Killing Justice” is my debut memoir. I currently live in Culver City, California. I'm passionate about raising awareness about mental illness and the criminal justice system and encouraging others on their healing journey, especially through the arts. My poetry can be found at https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/kellyab3/ & my poet website is http://www.kgstoryteller.com/.
