Hi! I’m a veteran high school English teacher with 23 years of experience guiding seniors through the personal and academic writing process. I specialize in helping students craft standout college essays that reflect their voice, values, and goals.
Whether you’re just getting started or need help polishing a final draft, I offer:
Brainstorming sessions to help you find your story
Detailed essay reviews with honest, constructive feedback
Line-by-line editing to refine clarity, voice, and structure
Supplemental essay guidance for Common App and beyond
My approach is warm, student-centered, and personal—I take the time to get to know each student so I can help them identify their strengths and shape their stories with authenticity and confidence.
I have taught creative writing to high school students for 23 years, guiding young writers as they explore fiction, poetry, and personal narrative. My classroom emphasizes voice, experimentation, and revision, helping students grow both their confidence and craft. I design engaging, real-world writing experiences—like zines, poetry cafés, and collaborations with younger students—that spark creativity and purpose. With decades of experience, I know how to meet students where they are and challenge them to write with authenticity and intention.
