I am a trilingual writer, poet, scholar, and interdisciplinary artist fluent in Creole, French, and English. I hold an MFA in Writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I graduated with departmental distinction and received the 2025 MFAW Fellowship Award. I also hold a PhD from EPHE–Sorbonne, which strengthened my long-term training in research, thesis development, archival inquiry, argumentation, and advanced academic writing. My tutoring focuses on creative writing, poetry, literary analysis, research writing, thesis development, essay structure, and helping students bring clarity, depth, and confidence to their written work.
My teaching and mentoring experience includes serving as a Teaching Assistant in the Writing Program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, supporting students with writing processes, research organization, literary development, revision, and interdisciplinary creative projects. I have also worked as a writer, editor, consultant, and founder of Lumiere Reflechie LLC, where I support writers, artists, and creatives with project development, grant writing, academic materials, and creative direction. My own work moves across poetry, hybrid writing, multilingual storytelling, archival research, and visual art, which allows me to support students who are developing both traditional and experimental forms of writing.
My tutoring approach is patient, structured, and generative. I help students understand their assignment or project, identify the strongest ideas, organize their material, and revise with greater precision. Depending on the student’s needs, we may work on poetry drafts, creative nonfiction, personal statements, thesis statements, research questions, essay outlines, close reading, literary analysis, paragraph structure, revision strategies, or manuscript development. I care about helping each student strengthen their own voice while also learning practical tools they can use in future writing, research, and creative work.
