About Me

I am currently a stay at home mom of four young children who also works from home as a freelance writer/editor and Psychology Adjunct Instructor. More recently I have started my doctoral studies in Psychology with Capella University.

I have worked and volunteered in several educational settings and find education to be a most valuable and worthwhile goal. I also enjoy learning about various languages and cultures.
