Dana Caddis - Ben Caddis
I have always been interested in writing, and won awards for it in school. My second great interest is biology, which I studied in university before switching to a major in education, for practical reasons. Over the years I have taught computer, language arts and ESL courses, among others. Until now, my published writing has been limited to courseware scripts and technical writing. Suite101 is a great opportunity to write for a broad audience and learn from the feedback of others. Ciao!
