Biography
I am a retired English teacher with degrees in English and Social Studies. I've taught grades 7-12, in the juvenile and adult correctional system, and a university seminar for student teachers. Subjects taught included English 7-12, Creative Writing, American History, Geography, Youth Issues in high school, Grammar, and Modern Novels. These subjects were because I moved many times and therefore, taught many subjects. I earned my masters degree at the U of MN and my undergrad at the U of WI-Eau Claire.
