Grading Girl

I’m GradingGirl (aka TLC)-The Tender Loving Critic ♥

I’ve been a gently honest critic of all things worth critiquing almost as long as I’ve had these catchy initials (my parents didn’t realize they graced me with this acronym until I was a few months old). I’ve been writing since I learned my first words and put that skill to good use when I became a high school English and speech teacher. I am National Board certified with two Masters, Secondary Education and Educational Leadership, and two endorsements in speech and reading.

When not teaching, I can be found at my health club as I crave exercise daily, at my local specialty grocery stores as I’m constantly hunting for new, fun recipes, or spending time with my daughter before she jets off to college.

I am an iTunes addict, habitual online shopper, dance enthusiast (ballet, modern, Pilates, etc), magazine junkie (17 subscriptions – many in fitness, fashion, & entertainment), public speaking coach, and fashion obsessionist.

I crave spontaneous, stimulating conversation, and glad you’re here to join me!
