I have over 20 years of experience teaching literature, composition, and creative writing at the high school and college level, including Johns Hopkins and Georgetown. As an award-winning fiction writer, I have edited manuscripts and helped students in all stages of their writing process, from brainstorming to revising. I have also helped students write compelling, authentic college application essays. My students have been accepted to Berkeley, UCLA, U of Michigan, Amherst, Colgate, Oberlin, Reed, and Vassar. Students describe me as caring, dedicated, knowledgeable, responsive, and patient. I have a B.A. from Pomona College and a PhD in English literature from Johns Hopkins. I love inspiring and teaching my students to find their own distinct voices and become more confident and skilled writers.
I specialize in teaching creative and academic writing, college application essays, reading comprehension and analysis, manuscript editing. I’m here to help you achieve your goals through individualized lesson plans.
