As a certified Gwinnett County Middle School teacher,  I have experience teaching both
Middle and High School grades and have been teaching for over eleven years in various
counties in Georgia.  I have taught both Language Arts and Descriptive Writing (although
my main subject is Social Studies). I manage a writing critique group which meets at the
Mall of Georgia Border’s Café twice monthly.  This workshop can be geared to either
teens or adult writers.
