I was a semester shy of a degree in psychology when I decided to homeschool (16 yrs) my sons. They both graduated with GPA's & ACT scores high enough to earn full college scholarships.
After ‘retiring’ from homeschooling, I returned to college but switched gears from psychology to pursue my love of writing. I graduated from MSCS in fall of 2023 with a Certificate of Creative Writing. Then in 2025 I graduated summa cum laude from SMSU with my bachelor’s in English with a creative writing emphasis.
At MSCS I tutored students in English, writing, and general academic support. November 2025 I completed a long-term substitute teaching position for 8th grade LA at a private middle school. I am an assistant editor for SMSU's literary publication. I have a number of poems published & I occasionally judge writing contests. I designed and lead creative writing workshops for inmates in the county jail twice a month.
I work part-time for a youth mentoring agency & am a certified firearm safety instructor. I’m passionate about helping kids, youth, and adults experience the joy & benefits of writing well. I believe in encouraging students to set their bar high and to have fun the process.
I’m available for a free 15 min (online) consultation or you can message me with any questions.
