Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a published author and own a publishing company. I have been a contributing author for an international best-selling book, and I have published magazine articles. I've attended writing conferences, met amazing authors, and have had enlightening conversations with experts in the publishing industry, including editors, agents, and publishers.

I have helped authors with developmental editing and beta reading. 

I have worked with authors on writing their books through critiques, story building, and world building. 

I've also worked as a personal development coach for entrepreneurs and executives, been interviewed on numerous podcasts, and have been a speaker on virtual stages.

I have four grown children and three grandchildren. I've worked with children from multiple countries on their English skills, and ran a home daycare when my children were young.
