I worked for approximately 15 years in Higher Education. I taught English Composition, American Studies, Drama, and Film Studies at Boston University, Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, Stonehill College in Brockton, Massachusetts, and Mount Ida College in Newton, Massachusetts. After deciding not to continue my academic career, I became a yoga instructor and personal trainer for about five years before returning to education as a tutor, primarily for high school students taking the SAT or ACT for entrance to college.
