I love seeing people learn and head towards success. I have taught in many different cultural settings with different ages and capabilities. I got my Bachelor's degree at UTA and the equivalent of a Master's in writing. I wrote an article for National Geographic Magazine and have written and published 13 books. I speak English and Spanish and enjoy teaching writing, ESL, English, science, and geography. I most enjoy teaching writing. I believe in finding out what a student's skill level is and taking them to the next level by providing them with appropriate positive experiences. I home taught my own children through 3rd grade. In addition to teaching, I write about culture and have written Christian fiction love stories. My experience living around the globe has taught me to appreciate people from a wide variety of backgrounds.
