“As a child, I pretended to teach my stuffed animals how to write their ABC’s. I read to them and told them stories. It makes perfect sense that years later I would be at my best in front of a group of people wanting to learn.

I have spent the last twenty years teaching English composition, research, critical thinking, and literature. In later years, I added women writers, fiction writing, and story creation and began to teach not only in the classroom but in conference settings, Zoom sessions, and as a keynote speaker, as well. It is a joy and an honor to sit in a room with other lovers of the written word and to bring stories to life.” Tammy Bird
