HI! I'm Christina, and I'm so happy you're here! I am a lover of all things language: reading, writing, linguistics, grammar, poetry, and the art of rhetoric!
I worked as an editor and English professor in California for 12 years. I have an MA in TESL (teaching English as a Second Language) and Rhetoric and Composition, and I am hopeful that I could help you on this channel as well!
I am a firm believer that effective communication (whether we are talking about grammar, writing, word choice, or organization) will enhance a person's life, so I hope you'll join me for our weekly quest towards better communication!
Please feel free to leave me any questions regarding my current videos as well as requests for future topics.
