Drawing on decades of experience as an English and grammar teacher, college adjunct instructor, and creative professional, I have developed a versatile understanding of writing across audiences and genres. My editing work centers on clarifying voice, purpose, and intention, helping writers communicate with precision, authenticity, and impact while adapting their message to meet the needs of diverse readers and contexts. Yes, the Oxford comma is a hill I would die on.

My passion for learning and commitment to educational equity have guided my teaching and tutoring career, allowing me to support students from all socioeconomic backgrounds in both remedial and advanced English, literature, and writing courses. I find joy in helping learners of any age develop research skills, discover their unique voices through writing, and build confidence, creativity, and communication skills through performance and acting.

Years of performing, writing, directing, and producing engaging events—from poetry slams and sketch comedy to original musicals—have strengthened my ability to connect with audiences of all sizes. These experiences have cultivated a confident, adaptable presence, allowing me to communicate with authenticity and impact, whether inspiring laughter, provoking reflection, or delivering meaningful educational experiences on a variety of topics. I am done with mime, though. And I am a big fan of the em dash.
