About Alejandra
If you want credentials— I have a BA in Journalism & English Literature. I liked writing so much I couldn’t choose between hard facts objectivity or creative fiction so I studied both. I taught in classrooms in Larabonga, Ghana, Albany NY, and virtually to people in different parts of the world. I’ve been teaching since 2009. I’ve been writing even longer than that. I migrated to NY from Buenos Aires at 6, learned English in 2 months and liked it so much I’m eager to teach you how to write your story in it. We all have a story to tell. Doing so gives us the power to connect, inspire, and leave a lasting impact. Whether you’re crafting a college essay, a memoir, or a creative piece, your story matters. Let’s bring it to life—one word at a time.
