Available to hire
Hi! I’m an American Studies Ph.D. with over twenty-five years of experience teaching college and university courses ranging from English Composition to American History and Business Writing. I also enjoy mentoring middle and high school students online in subjects like History, ELA, and Philosophy. Alongside my academic career, I’m an active scholarly and freelance writer, as well as a creative writer working on fiction and poetry.
I’m deeply involved in my community in Jersey City, where I serve as President of the Museum of Jersey City History Board and chair the History Committee of the Journal Square Community Association. I also co-founded Bergen Square Day, a festival celebrating the cultural heritage of Jersey City. I’m passionate about education, writing, and community engagement, always looking for ways to connect history with people’s lives.
