Welcome to Suite101! My name is Renae Sevigny. I live in Washington state with my husband, Luke, and daughter, Lillyanne. I graduated in June 2010 from Central Washington University with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I chose to minor in Teaching English as a Second Language, which helps me to communicate more fully with the diverse group of learners that I work with. During the school year I am a part-time guest teacher. I recently began writing as a way to keep my mind fresh and provide insightful articles and information for others. I enjoy all things culinary, reading, and second-hand treasure shopping.
