As 2020 is coming to an end, there is 1 thing that is for certain; with adversity comes clarity. As of today, I can now say I am a 1st year graduate student at Southern New Hampshire University pursuing a Master of Arts in English and Creative Writing. My life long passion has been in both HR and Journalism, (as I am an extremely detailed oriented person, gifted proofreader, and overall perfectionist.)
However, I have decided that 2020 is the year to take a leap of faith and into the unknown and follow my true passion. My life long goal has been to become a published Writer/Editor for a mid-size to large publishing company. As you may already know, life is so short and precious.. so live it well. ❤
My name is Terin and I am:
A graduate student pursuing an MA in English and Creative Writing
An aspiring, future children's book author/editor
A Mom to 3 teenagers
A creative, outside of the box thinker
A certified, grammatically correct perfectionist
A voracious reader and writer
My credentials include over 10 years of experience in the Human Resources field with a BBA degree, specializing in Human Resources Management.
This extensive background has not only sharpened my communication skills and business acumen, but has also brought to life a passion that has burned deep inside of me for years..writing. My hope is that my writing will uplift and inspire you, make you laugh (and possibly cry), and most of all, make you smile. Life is HARD and maintaining a healthy work/life balance is always something many of us struggle with.
Follow me on this blog/journey navigating my ever evolving thoughts on finding the most perfect and fulfilling position from home during quarantine, finishing my graduate degree, parenting 3 strong willed teenagers, and keeping a 20 year marriage alive and thriving all while connecting with like minded individuals like you. ❤️
