ABOUT MATHINA

My passion for writing started with a journalism degree and a news reporting job. I wrote about education, which inspired me to spend several years teaching fourth- and fifth-graders. That experience prepared me to develop educational assessments, which I have done in various capacities since 2003. Meanwhile, I have pursued my own creative writing and have provided coaching, editing, ghostwriting, and copywriting services for others.

I live in Alexandria, Virginia, with my life partner, Inti. For fun, we renovate the house, throw salsa parties, sing karaoke badly, and play around with interior design.

TODAY featured me in a "Love Your Age" segment.
