I have been a special education teacher at the elementary level for 9 years. I teach reading, writing, math, organizational, social, and study skills on a daily basis. I have completed a masters program in Special Education, which required several research papers written in APA format. I have also participated in an online teaching course development, working closely with editors. These experiences have given me a lot of practice with editing and proofreading. I enjoy photography, creating scrapbooks, and writing poetry, short stories, and children's stories. I am proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and Power Point. I am also an avid reader of fictional novels, and interested in publishing my own stories.
