Linda McFadden - Kieran McFadden
I am a former elementary teacher. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology and my master's degree in elementary education. In addition to teaching, I have also worked for a language development program for prekindergarten children. After the birth of my children, I began tutoring; I also started a small day care in my home.
In the past year, I have begun to write articles and blog posts. I maintained a blog for approximately 8 months. I have changed my focus since the inception of the blog and as a result, I no longer maintain it. I currently write articles online for other individuals. I have written approximately 80 articles in the past 8 months.
My interests include health and wellness, organic products, education and blogging.
