Writer and Motivational Speaker
Hi there!
I’m Dr. Lynn M. Jorgenson, a writer and motivational speaker. I have two young adult children: Grant and Roman, who have brought constant learning and joy to my life.
I have held positions as an elementary principal, district administrator, junior high/high school teacher and college/graduate professor.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree, two Master’s degrees, and a Doctorate.
One of my life’s greatest achievements is inspiring others. My own diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, in the height of my career, continues to motivate me to “Live an Encouraged Life.” Join me in this extraordinary journey!
