As a Language Arts teacher I taught composition and grammar to middle and high school students, emphasizing the importance of structure as well as craft. My own exceptional writing abilities have been featured in both blogs and print publications. In my graduate-level studies at Saint Xavier University in Chicago, IL, I never received less than an "A" grade for any writing piece I completed. I am a versatile writer, able to create professional, fiction, and nonfiction pieces for a variety of purposes and audiences.
