Chances are you've scrolled through countless profiles looking for the right match for your project. Will this person be the right fit? Will they communicate well? Above all, will they understand my needs and deliver in the end?
Look no further.
I am a veteran public school English teacher. After seventeen years in the classroom, I live and breathe all things writing and reading. Informative, creative, storytelling, or a mixture of all three--you can rest assured that I can express your vision concisely.
I have nearly 10 years of experience serving as a writing professional development facilitator, having helped hundreds of teachers in school districts all over the US and Southeast Asia learn the tools they need to develop successful writers in their classrooms.
Additionally, I am an award-winning published picture book author. My debut, The Notebook Keeper, was published by Random House Studio and received a Pura Belpre Honor from the American Library Association in 2023.
I am ready to provide my clients an excellent experience finding creative solutions to their problems. I look forward to connecting with you to discuss how I can help with your writing and editing needs.
