ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Picture
Catherine Tanguis, MA, NBCT worked for over 30 years in the Greater New Orleans area, as both a high school English teacher and community college adjunct instructor. She graduated with a master’s degree in English from the University of New Orleans, with concentrations in Rhetoric and Composition and American Literature and has been a National Board-Certified Teacher since 2005.

Along the way, her passion for encouraging creative writing with both adults and young people, led to her to serve as Co-Director of the Greater New Orleans Writing Project, founding and serving as Co-Director of the Southeast Regional Affiliate of the Scholastic Writing & Arts Awards, as well as working in various capacities for the National Council of Teachers of English Writing Recognition Programs.

Recognizing the importance of creative writing in empowering young people to find their own voices and developing empathy, she organized numerous student writing groups and sponsored nationally recognized student literary publications. As an alumni of the Fulbright Program IREX, she has given presentations and lectures on using poetry to open dialogue in communities. She is currently serving on the national board of the National Association for Poetry Therapy and is completing the credentialing process.
