It is so easy to describe others, yet oftentimes so difficult to describe oneself. . . I come from a large, loving family, growing up surrounded by books and discussions about literature, always. Majoring in American literature, I knew I had found my niche and wanted to do more with the knowledge I had eagerly consumed. In time I knew it was time to teach. &nbsp;It was never a job to teach but such a joy. &nbsp;It was truly a blessing and a gift to be able to teach English and creative writing. I found teaching core writing techniques and writing fundamentals very rewarding. &nbsp;Having students grasp the power of words and language in all forms of writing helped me realize what they were learning would carry them in whatever profession they so chose for their futures. &nbsp;I have recently had the opportunity to edit/proofread some work by friends and family. &nbsp;From fiction to non-fiction, or articles to novellas, there always exists that gratification of helping others achieve their ultimate goal of success in their writing projects.<br /><br />Attributes:<br />Detail-oriented, deadline driven, positive, communicative, accessible, attentive
