Gaybreala
Peer Writing Tutor (Grad Student)
Hi, fellow writers! My name is Gaybreala. I am a 28-year-old boy mommy to two cute little boys and a dog! I am currently getting my master's degree in English Creative writing! I teach middle school English at Kenwood High School! I enjoy spending time with my kids, my boyfriend, and my dog. If I'm not with them, you can find me at the park (when it's warm and pretty) reading a book or walking the trail. I love new adventures! So, I'm always trying to find places to hike or explore. I'm originally from Johnson City, TN (East TN), so a good hike to a waterfall is fun to me! I also love library trips; my oldest and I go every Saturday for a mommy/son date. Super excited to be a part of the writing center team!
