Hello! I'm a professional writer who works in the tech industry and I've been helping others learn how to improve their reading, writing, and other professional skills for over 10 years. I love spending time with students and career professionals alike and helping them gain new opportunities and develop their knowledge. In terms of high school and college tutoring, I like to dive into the material alongside the student, explain key concepts, and provide useful examples and comparisons from my years of writing experience for everything from personal essays, to history research papers, and even academic works. Typically we'll spend a few minutes acquiring context and then move on to effective tactics and methods you can use during and after your tutoring session.

For career professionals, I typically like to better understand your goals and objectives to ensure my tutoring method is personalized toward a specific business task or project, or if it's related to general career development and skills development. Either way, I'll use my years of experience as a journalist and copywriter with over 200 credit bylines to help you improve your communication and execution skills towards executives, managers, and customers alike, just as I have for clients like Salesforce, McDonald's, and Lenovo.

I earned my BA in English at a top liberal arts college (Vassar College) and completed my thesis with department distinction. Prior to college I received a 99th percentile composite ACT score, including a 35 Reading ACT, 34 English ACT, and 750 SAT II Reading score. I'm very experienced with the skills across program management, team management, and core project management which are necessary in handling everything from project planning to execution, review, and executive reporting. I've carried out this work for organizations of all sizes, from local small businesses to some of the largest tech companies in the world.

I'm very flexible with in person and online availability - feel free to get in touch!
