About Me
Personal Info
Bio
In 2002, I graduated Washington State University with a doctorate in English, specialising in Rhetoric and Composition, and became an educational consultant, because I saw that too many of my students were singularly unprepared for the rigors of academia. Of the many places I have lived, both here in the States and abroad, my favorite place is still Ashland, Oregon, home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. I love it there, and often consider moving back. I currently live in the Seattle area.
Interests
Writing, history of writing, myths about writers, rhetoric, composition, computers, literature (specifically British Lit. between the wars, postcolonial lit.) Here's an online book I'm developing: http://www.webook.com/project/When-Your-Child-Isnt-Ready-For-College-Why-Parents-Push-Why-Kids-Resist If you are in need of a tutor: http://www.tutorsteach.com/tutorDetails.aspx?t=127143
