As an educator, I bring 15+ years of experience working with stories and storytellers as an editor, writer, educator, and librarian. I have a bachelor of arts in English & Writing and graduate degrees in Creative Writing (MFA) and Library & Information Science (MLIS) from the University of British Columbia in Canada. I worked as a substitute teacher for 3 years while finishing my MLIS degree and homeschooled my son from first to sixth grade minus one year (5th grade) while we lived in a new state. Today, he thrives academically and socially in a more traditional school setting. In addition to Outschool, I teach as an adjunct professor for a university and freelance as an editor and content writer.
