Marnie David

Teacher and writer Marnie David is the author of The Confident Teen, The Social Teen, and The Ambitious Teen. Her writing aims to foster confidence in tweens, teens, and even adults, equipping them with the tools they need to overcome their self-doubt, anxiety, and fear and build their self-confidence day by day. With a master’s degree in education, Marnie has been a public school teacher since 2004. She’s as passionate about working with her students to build their confidence as she is about teaching them subject knowledge, and has spent years developing creative ways to do this. Marnie describes herself as a ‘recovering awkward person’, and having struggled with self-esteem issues as a young adult, she has always been determined to ensure that her students and her own children have a better experience than she did. She recognizes the difficulties presented by adolescence and is determined to inspire young people to fight forward with confidence. Having witnessed the positive impact her strategies have had on her students, she began combining her writing skills with her classroom experiences to produce books that would help more teenagers become their best selves. Marnie lives in New York City with her husband, two sons, and their beloved cockapoo.
