Available to hire
I’m a long-time English teacher and writer who’s spent decades shaping voices in classrooms and in literary journals. From teaching IB English to coordinating writing programs to supporting student authors, I thrive on helping others find clarity and power in their words.
Beyond the classroom, I’ve contributed to literary publications, mentored budding writers, and collaborated on community education initiatives through public schools and universities. I’m always looking for opportunities to blend pedagogy with storytelling and to mentor the next generation of writers and educators.
