Who's Behind the Scenes?

Rosangela Cricci Taylor is an English lover, having several other love-affairs: Spanish, Italian, German, French, and Portuguese of course! From São Paulo, Brazil, she became half American when married her American husband. Since she left Brazil she has lived in the British Virgin Islands, Italy, Germany, and USA; visited Greece, Portugal; has spent an afternoon in Spain, and said a quick Bonjour to Paris.

In college, Rosangela's major was English and Portuguese, with specialization in translation and interpretation. She doesn't like to translate, though – it's too boring for her dynamic personality. She prefers to create and share, so she became a writer.

She writes non-fiction (all LEP's material, website content, books, articles...); and also poems.

Rosangela provides ESL consultancy through her LEP website, and she is currently writing a book about the most common ESL Q&A - a collection of her trainees' questions, with her clear explanations. She has been an ESL student and teacher for about twenty years and her goal is to help others succeed by avoiding the pitfalls she couldn't avoid when she was in their shoes. From learning with her mistakes and tough situations she now empowers people by making their path a little easier through her knowledge.

RCT has volunteered as English tutor at The Literacy Council, in Rockford, Illinois, tutoring American adults who don't know how to read and write in English. She has also contributed to The Rockford Writers' Guild, as Editor and Webmaster; and she's a member of In Print Professional Writers Group, Chicago Writers Association, and American Writers & Artists, Inc.

She lives in Rockford, near Chicago, with her husband Andrew. She loves to dance, drink wine, eat, cook, and  have lots of fun! She loves challenges, roller coasters, Disney World, summer, and open-minded and happy people.

Now she is trying to learn how to play the drums... She says that's worse than learning Chinese from German... well, but she hasn't gotten to the Chinese yet. Maybe it will be her next challenge!

Oh, yeah... I forgot to say, she is totally NUTs! 

"I do think we are all living in one of the best eras in this planet
(if things are not better it's our own fault!).
As far as information and growth are concerned, we have them all. Or we can have, at least.
Those who don't take advantage of the great opportunities that are surrounding us,
really... are missing their train during this trip called Life!"
