I received my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential through Chapman University and a master’s degree in Education from Grand Canyon University. I taught elementary school for 20 years and my two children have since grown up. Currently, I have decided to try my hand at writing, using my experience in teaching as a starting point. I am also managing my husband’s consulting business in the Silicon Valley.view less
