I’m a published author and communications professional with a background in public relations, brand storytelling, and editorial writing. I hold a degree in anthropology with additional certifications in museum studies and professional publishing, and my career has focused on helping individuals communicate clearly, confidently, and with purpose. My work has included long-form editorial writing, executive speechwriting, and developing messaging for national campaigns, all of which require strong writing fundamentals, clear structure, and a distinct voice.

I have experience working one-on-one with middle school, high school, and college students, supporting a range of writing needs including academic essays, college application essays, and general writing improvement. In these settings, I tailor each session to the student’s goals and level, whether that means building foundational skills like organization and grammar or refining more advanced elements like argument development and personal voice. My approach is collaborative and structured—I help students break down the writing process into manageable steps, from brainstorming and outlining to drafting and revision, so they feel more confident and capable in their work.

For students working on college essays or high-stakes assignments, I focus on helping them develop authentic, compelling narratives rather than relying on formulas. I guide them in identifying meaningful topics, strengthening clarity and structure, and editing for impact, while ensuring the final work reflects their own voice. My goal is not only to improve a single piece of writing, but to help students build skills they can carry forward into future academic and professional work.
