Experience

I specialize in helping writers find the right balance of their voice within the confines of academic writing. With over fifteen years of experience teaching English to middle school, high school, and college students, I have helped many writers to strengthen their skills. Most of my teaching career has been with middle school and high school students in literature and writing. I have worked with students on their college admission essays, including my own three children who were all accepted to top colleges. I strive to make the process of learning to read and write fun and engaging. I am able to work with students to analyze literature with a balance of good humor and serious reflection. I am a published writer and I am currently pursuing a second masters degree in religion. I earned my bachelor of arts in English from Wesleyan University and my master of fine arts in creative writing from the University of Massachusetts. In my free time, I enjoy biking, hiking, reading, watching movies, being outdoors.
