About Cherie Parsons
Cherie Parsons is a lover of stories, book nerd, writing teacher, and linguist. After contemplating various career paths and a wide range of majors, Cherie chose to become what she refers to as a professional reader: a reader of the published works she teaches and the written words of her students. Consequently, there’s rarely a dull moment in her day! Parsons finds herself and her students at their best when the classroom is infused with joy and laughter as well as an ethic of care.
