I have been teaching English Literature and Composition for 9 years in the Orlando area, Spanish for 2, and Reading for 3. I have degrees in English and Spanish, with minors in business and education. I love what I do, second only to writing. I have not published work before besides some poetry. I look forward to broadening my horizons with suite101.
