I am a writer and game designer, recently returning to the United States after spending 4 years teaching in Japan.
In University, I tutored at the Rockowitz Writing Center at Hunter College, where I was trained in the Socratic method, and developed my approach to help students with assignments, essays, and writing all across the curricula, from poems and memoirs to scientific papers and resumes. My technique is focused on analyzing the expectations you or your professors have for what you are writing, utilizing a conversational and question-based approach to get your work to where it needs to be, and planning out all the research and revising that might be necessary along the way.
At Hunter College, I studied Filmmaking, Game Production, and Japanese, working on a variety of creative projects, films, written works, and digital games. After graduating, I moved to Japan, where I taught English and Writing for four years, while simultaneously working on independent games, attending workshops, and interpreting at conventions like BitSummit.
As a writer, I write and edit short stories, screenplays, all kinds of fiction, and digital games.
My goals as a writer are always to stay true to the idea you have and to try to keep exploring and understanding what it was that drew you toward it in the first place. I believe with these ideals in mind, you will always be satisfied by what you can create.
The truth is that writing doesn't need to be hard; writing is thinking, and that makes it no harder than talking it through and having fun with it.
Now that I'm back in the United States, I am pursuing my next steps and am giving back with my knowledge, writing skills, and pedagogical techniques to help others discover what they can accomplish, too.
Reach out to me, and we can begin the journey toward what you are envisioning, struggling with, or even toward finishing what you started.
