In addition to teaching English, I run a creative writing workshop twice a year at BYU with Kyle Minson called Young Author's Academy.

Beehive Meals Hero of the Week: Jaimi Sparks!
"Jaimi is the head drill team coach at Salem Hills High School. She volunteers COUNTLESS hours to the athletes and the school. Jaimi has grown the program and the team as a whole has improved under her direction. Simultaneously, she runs a dance studio in the community. "Heart N Soul" is a studio started by her mom, Diane Rosenbaum, and family run. She, her sister, niece, etc. teach dance to kids of all ages. This past month her mom died unexpectedly. She still made time, with her mom in the hospital, to come to the drill team competition and check on her athletes while going through one of the most difficult days of her life. "Dedication" doesn't begin to sum up her passion and work ethic for dance. Her entire family positively impacts our community with their love of the arts and expression. Jaimi improves the lives of the girls on her team and is one of the most driven and selfless coaches I've ever met. She endured the loss of her mom amidst the busiest competition month, yet the team still had her full attention because she truly cares about the girls."
