Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Asbury College (University)
As a teacher, teaching writing skills, is something I have especially enjoyed. I love to write in my spare time, especially letters and poetry. I believe that writing helps us to create the world we envision and the person we are. Teaching children to write from their soul is essential. Writing is how we look into ourselves. Writing poetry is a practice that can bring joy into the lives of others, as well.
