I have a bachelor's degree in writing and journalism. I worked as a journalist for over five years and won several awards during my career. I have taught in homeschool co-ops and taught my own children to read and write. Before changing my degree to writing, my study focus was on education. I have always been a lover of books and it brings me joy to share that passion with others.
