LOUISE CROSSLEY

ABOUT
​I am a Christian, a mother, a teacher and a writer.
My Degree is in Professional Writing with minor studies in Organisation. I have a Master in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and a Master in Teaching (Secondary). My favourite quote is by Helen Keller - 'I am only one, I cannot do everything, but I can do something; I will not refuse to do something that I can do'.
