Welcome to GradingGirl! -The Tender Loving Critic ♥
Think you’re all the rave? Let Grading Girl give the grade! 
Channeling my passion for writing, Grading Girl was created as a place for me to share my reviews and “give the grade” to those entertainment, lifestyle and literary experts I enjoy.
I’ve been a gently honest critic of all things worth critiquing almost as long as I’ve had these catchy initials. I’ve been writing since I learned my first words and put that skill to good use when I became a high school National Board Certified English teacher, with Masters in Secondary Education and Educational Leadership along with endorsements in speech and reading. I received a 2010 Those Who Excel award for my efforts in initiating R.T.I. within my school district. Additionally, I am a certified Project CRISS trainer and serve as coordinator for my school’s literacy coach. Never the same day twice, I have the best clients – my students! They inspire me!!
When not teaching or posting, I can be found at my health club as I crave exercise daily. My goal is to maintain fitness so that I may begin a new career in personal training once I retire from teaching in my 60′s. I’m constantly researching about fitness and nutrition while trying very hard to practice what I preach. Various random phrases that describe me include dance enthusiast (studied ballet, modern, and jazz for 10 years – recently stretched myself to Pilates and yoga), and public speaking coach (worked as a speech writer for a trade association prior to coaching my students).
Finally, I crave spontaneous, stimulating conversation and I’m so glad you’re here to join me!!! Check out my TLC reviews including musicians, fitness classes, books, restaurants and lifestyle products. While you’re at it, click on a few randoms: a mix of educational lessons and grammar goofs; fitness/nutrition posts, and my popular cardio playlists.
