About Deborah
I have been writing my entire life. It was a way for me to process a less than happy family setting and it still helps me explain life. When people ask me why I write, my response is always: I have no choice; I MUST write! My first publication was at age 10. I wrote an article about the Blue Angels that was published in the newsletter on the base where my military family lived. Over the course of my working life, I worked in all kinds of jobs: teacher, library assistant, customer service rep, administrative assistant, volunteer recruiter for a large nonprofit, training coordinator, and today I am a freelance content writer. I have published four books of my own, all nonfiction books based on my own experiences. I followed the oldest writing advice around: Write what you know! I would love to bring the love of writing to you, too.

You have a story in you, right? We all do, but how do you get it out in a way that resonates with others? You have an essay to write and you're dreading it, as always. Wouldn't it feel amazing to be able to sketch it for yourself out and then write a solid piece of work? It is exciting to me to help others unlock the writer inside, whether their work is for publication, for an academic class, or simply for themselves. Most kids learn to dread writing in school and that's a shame. I taught in the public schools for 15 years and saw the damage that's done to young people. Damage that is often never undone. I love working with people who want to write with less angst and more satisfaction. I use a variety of tools for teaching writing like images or poetry all while encouraging people to shake off the inner critic. Let's write!
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I have known Deborah for many years, she wrote my book that has been published. She is professional, trustworthy and a kind woman. She has patience, she is non judgmental. I highly recommend her for this position.
Deborah, or as I know her, Ms. Hansen, was my middle school social studies teacher. Although many years have passed since that time, I will never forget the kindness and encouragement I received in her class. Ms. Hansen has the brilliant ability to see both the incredible academic potential of children as well as what they are capable of as successful humans. She encourages critical thinking skills, perseverance, mindfulness, communication, and so many other life skills that stretch far beyond the classroom setting. I will be forever grateful for having had the opportunity to be her student. The lessons I learned within her classroom have stayed with me for all these years and continue to have a positive impact on my life journey.
Deborah Hansen and I became friends because we both love to write. As a fellow writer, she often edits and critiques my work and I value the assistance she offers. Although I have not been her student, I believe that she has taught me well and I intend to continue to draw on her expertise.
