Paulette Kirkham

“Duh, You Didn’t Know That?”

 What we know, what we don’t, and why we fake it.

Paulette Kirkham is a proud “dumb” cell phone owner. She is also an innovative academic.  A Los Angeles native, Paulette is the author of “Memoirs of a Marginal Mormon” and teaches English 106 (Basic Writing) at Brigham Young University-Idaho as an adjunct faculty member.

She earned her Bachelor of Liberal Arts degree (literature emphasis) through Thomas Edison State University in Trenton, N.J., and holds an M.A. in English with an emphasis in rhetoric from National University. In addition to teaching, she is a sought after motivational speaker and is an unapologetic fan of the greatest Christian apologist, C.S. Lewis.

When she isn’t glued to the pages of a book, she spends time on renovation projects, cycling, and trying very hard to learn all things literary and English (except for dangling participles). Her guilty pleasures are sipping herbal teas in her favorite chair, playing hide ‘n seek with her grandchildren and reading Louis L’Amour novels.
