I've taught reading and writing to multiple ages for several years, and I also have served as an instructional coach. I have three degrees in Education. I absolutely love to write and share the joy of writing, and I've taught writing for several years. I understand that writing isn't everyone's cup of tea, so I am beyond happy to share some ways to bring your words to the surface.
