I am a graduate of Soutwest Minnesota State University. I have a degree in Literature and Language Arts Education. I am the mother of boy/girl twins and have spent the last 18 years focussing on my family. During those years, I have voluteered at the kids' schools in a variety of ways, but always enjoyed helping kids with their English studies. I also have been a columist for my local newspaper for the past two and a half years. Writing has always been a passion of mine and writing a bi-monthly column has been an absolute thrill. I also have worked with my children on their college application essays. Our work together was a success as both of my kids have been accepted into multiple colleges and are currently making their college decisions! I look forward to helping more students find their voice in their writings as well as assist in other areas of Language Arts education.
