I am an accomplished writer and editor, with more than 10 years of experience and an English degree from JMU (go Dukes!) under my belt. Since graduating in 2011, I've written and edited everything from blogs and bylines to books and user guides. My love of words has been with me since I was in elementary school, and I think it's so important for students to not only read and write well but to ENJOY reading and writing, too. Words are part of our everyday life after all; we should get to know them.
