About Me

English teacher and aspiring writer sets out to publish a novel in a world full of English teachers and aspiring writers. Still she types away at her manuscript, minds her punctuation and hopes that her descriptive adjectives and eloquent prose may one day evoke emotion in someone besides herself. On a more serious note (eh um). I have a BA in Humanities from Florida State University and an MA in Liberal Studies / English Literature from University of Central Florida. I currently teach College Composition, Literature, and Critical Thinking and Writing.
