It's lovely to meet you! I hold a Bachelor's degree from North Carolina State University, and bring a unique educational background, having been homeschooled from Kindergarten through 12th grade using the IEW method for English. This experience has equipped me with a solid foundation in creative and effective writing techniques. For the past six years, I have passionately taught writing to K-12 students, helping them find their voice in both English and Spanish. My diverse teaching experience allows me to connect with students and make learning an engaging adventure.
