About Selected Reads

With a Ph.D. in Educational Studies from Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, Canada, and more than a decade of K-12 teaching experience, I have always been driven by an intense passion for both education and books.

I channelled these passions into creating two unique platforms: an EdTech blog and this site, Selected Reads, a blog dedicated to book lovers like you and me.

Meet alicia

Our jobs at home as moms, homeschoolers, and homemakers can feel small and insignificant at times. But the world doesn’t always view the quiet things as meaningful.

But it does have meaning. All of it does.

Because I believe, like Mother Theresa said, that if we want to change the world, we need to love our families first and that as moms we have the opportunity and the influence to change the world for the better.
