I'm a writer and producer with published essays in the New York Times, Self magazine, and Bustle. As a writing coach, I have guided students in the Common App and supplemental essay process, to support their goals of acceptance to such schools as Rice, George Washington, Lehigh, U Mass Amherst, and more. I offer ways to take an essay from ideation through final draft, in a supportive and open environment.

As a writing tutor and mentor, I have been working with high school and college students for over five years, to boost their confidence and grow their academic and creative writing skills. I love hearing about students' interests outside the classroom, as I incorporate their passions and hobbies as ways to draw out their voice in their writing.

I have taught screenwriting to high schoolers in after school programs, volunteered online with nonprofits centering marginalized writers, and have given screenwriting and film production talks at festivals and industry panels.

I have a Bachelor's degree from Ithaca College where I graduated cum laude with a major in Film and a minor in Creative Writing. When I'm not writing short sci-fi stories or humor essays, I enjoy yoga, travel, and reading memoirs.

I have been a writing coach for several students to help them craft successful Common App and supplemental essays in their authentic voice. My own personal essays have been published online and in print. As an editor, I have worked on the Girls Write Now annual anthology, printed by Dutton Press, since 2021.
