About

I am a Writing/ESL/Qualitative Methods coach and teacher with extensive experience in teaching, training, research and synthesis. I work with students and professionals to develop writing across formats, improve speaking and presentation skills, work on qualitative methods projects and design engaging learning experiences—delivered both remotely and in person.

I am a curious, adaptable educator and online facilitator who thrives on collaborating with diverse groups. I excel at managing multiple projects under tight deadlines, turning complex material into accessible learning, and helping learners achieve clear communication and critical thinking.
