What do you hope to experience at Blogging While Brown 2014?
I hope to network with other women, get inspired, learn how to increase my blog's audience, and learn how to turn my blog into a money-making venture.
Why did you decide to start a blog?
I decided to start a blog because I moved to Venezuela from the US. It was a way to keep people back home abreast of my experience while teaching abroad.

Above all, visitors to the blog will find high quality writing pieces. They will also find reflections on the education profession, race, gender, and travel. There are also photos of my travels while abroad.

As an English teacher, I can proofread articles. I can also write guest posts that pertain to education, race, gender, and/or working/living abroad.
Where do you see you and your blog in 5 years?
In five years I see myself living back in the States and writing full time. My blog will be a way in which admirers of my book(s) can get a closer look at my personal opinions, experiences, and beliefs. The blog will also serve as a space where I can publicize new publications and speaking events.
