Our Story
Story Circles World represents a lifelong passion for reading and the teaching of reading and writing. I started "teaching" as a little girl growing up on a Caribbean island, Tobago. My mom used to tease me about setting out my toys on the front porch to deliver daily lessons. As I grew older, all I really wanted to be was a writer - or an actress. Nevertheless, my wise and persuasive mother ensured that I became a teacher. So, I have taught - people of ages 4 - 64, in public schools and private language colleges, in Trinidad and Tobago, as well as in Toronto and Halifax. Now online and based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Story Circles World remains a joyful, deeply satisfying part of my life.
