As a literacy educator, I’ve often heard from my students that they're looking for 3 specific things: stories with characters that look and act like them, stories that transport them to fantastic places, and writing as cinematic as the superhero and anime movies that they adore. My writing invites readers to imagine new possibilities–both magical and tangible–that push us to grow and relate in exciting ways.

Four years as a journalistic editor. Six print anthologies of youth writing published annually. Thousands of hours in shared Google Docs collaborating and finding the right words. If you need a reliable partner for constructive edits, I can turnaround on deadline and give you quality feedback on your manuscript, grant proposal, commencement speech, cover letter, and so much more.

I’ve taught writing techniques to retirees and kindergartners, taught in high school classrooms and Zoom professional development. My curriculum always features diverse model texts; current, engaging topics; and lots of opportunities to write, interact, and apply learning. Highlights include: smashing the college essay with story, speculative fiction to take back your power, STEAM environmental justice poetry, fantasy worldbuilding… the list goes on and on.
