Interesting Facts
After earning a Master of Arts in British Literature, I taught writing and literature at PLNU. As our four children grew, we decided to educate them at home, K-12, through Heritage Christian School where I taught high school writing courses at our co-op. For 20+ years, I have taught online classes to homeschooling families at Brave Writer in grammar, writing, poetry, Shakespeare, high school literature, and the MLA Research Essay. My hobbies are calligraphy, writing, and playing D&D with my grown kids.
