About Me

Anyone can learn, and everyone wants to know something. I love to help people learn because my years in the classroom and travels throughout the world have shown me the value of knowledge and the right to learn. More than that, I consider writing the most valuable skill a person can acquire. If you want the world to hear your voice, learn to write. With a doctorates in Creative Writing and Literary and Cultural Studies, I have worked for more than forty years in classrooms, online and individual instruction with students age 7 to more than 60. I have even taught in prisons, and always learned something new. A student once said more people learn to write from me because I refuse to let them fail. The truth is I do my very best to teach and expect students to do theirs to learn. I am tough but fair - never waste a student's time, nor do I waste mine. Friends say I am an intellectual, because I love to think, read and write as much as I love to laugh. I have a master's degree are in Theology and another in Biblical Studies. To complete those programs, I also learned to read Ancient Hebrew and Greek. My undergraduate diploma is in History and Humanities with a specialization in African American Studies. That led me to learn to read in French, Spanish and Italian.
