About

I’m an experienced educator with a passion for one-on-one and small-group writing mentorship. I guide students to develop high-quality writing with thoughtful, individualized feedback, and I love building a supportive, constructive learning environment that helps students advance their arguments, critical thinking, and writing skills.

My background spans museum education, educational technology, and academic research. I enjoy collaborating with teachers and students to design engaging learning experiences, cultivate research skills, and create thoughtful writing and presentations that connect with real-world contexts.
