Jaz first received an Associate of English Literature and then a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Technology in hopes to fund her dream of becoming a writer. In 2020, after years in the corporate world, Jaz decided to leave corporate and start her own book editing and coaching business. Since then, she has made it a point to learn as much as she can about the literary industry whether it is how to publish a book or the different stages of editing, and is determined to become an asset to the writing community.
