Camille lives in west suburban Chicago, where many of her poems are inspired from the view outside her window or from walking along local trails. A life-long student of "life", she attends and participates in various personal development programs, some of which spills into her poetry. In 2010, she completed her first chapbook, Simple Awakenings, and she is working on her next collection. Camille enjoys art fairs, garden walks, taking photos, dancing, occasional travel, and sharing her poems at open mics.
