I hold a Master's in Writing (Writing Fiction; Creative Writing) as well as a certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. In addition, I have been teaching writing to students for the past 7 years in both high school and college/university setting, working with students anywhere from learners with special needs to adults trying to teach their own children!
