I work with students in 6th grade and up.
Meet online or in person. My office is in San Francisco’s Mission District.
I have taught writing for nearly two decades.
I’ve taught undergrads at the University of Iowa, middle and high school students at Castilleja School in Palo Alto, and kids of all ages via Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies. My work for Stanford took me around the globe; I’ve taught poetry, fiction, and essay writing workshops in South Korea, Chile, Singapore, India, Thailand, and Kazakhstan.
I enjoyed eight immaculate summers working for Iowa Young Writers’ Studio, where I mentored young writers and helped to create a number of camp traditions that continue to this day. (I’m very proud of Question Hole.) I went on to design IYWS’s first online poetry course, Sensory Overload: Poetic Perception and Poetic Technique.
I love teaching because I love to play. I believe in the seriousness of my students, even while we’re playing.
