Bio

Most students either avoid AI entirely or let it write everything. Both hurt them.
AI is useful for getting unstuck, thinking through structure, reacting to a draft. The problem is when students stop doing the thinking and hand that off too. Writing is still what teachers grade and admissions offices evaluate. A student who can't write without AI is in trouble the moment they sit down for an in-class essay or a college interview.

Most students either avoid AI entirely or let it write everything. Both hurt them.
AI is useful for getting unstuck, thinking through structure, reacting to a draft. The problem is when students stop doing the thinking and hand that off too. Writing is still what teachers grade and admissions offices evaluate. A student who can't write without AI is in trouble the moment they sit down for an in-class essay or a college interview.
I'm a Penn grad and a professional writer. Produced a feature film that streamed 300,000 times on Amazon. I also build AI systems for business clients, so I work with these tools every day at a technical level.
Sessions work on real assignments. I show students where AI helps, where it gets them in trouble, and how to stay in control of their own work. The goal is a student who knows how to use the tool without becoming dependent on it.

Creative Writing

I'm a University of Pennsylvania graduate and a produced writer and director with 15 years of professional experience across film, narrative video, and fiction. My feature film has streamed over 300,000 times on Amazon Prime and won Best Comedy Feature at two film festivals. I've taught writing in workshops and small groups, focusing on structure, voice, premise, and craft. I also work with individual students and creators to develop material and sharpen their writing.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I’m a Penn graduate and professional writer with over 10 years of experience working one-on-one with middle and high school students on writing. I help students develop clear ideas, structure their essays effectively, and improve clarity and expression. I’ve worked with students on school essays, personal statements, and college application essays. My approach focuses on getting the thinking right first, then refining the writing so it reads clearly and holds together.

I'm a produced screenwriter and director with 15 years of experience writing narrative fiction and film. My feature comedy won Best Comedy Feature at the NYC Independent Film Festival and the Twin Tiers International Film Festival and has streamed over 300,000 times on Amazon Prime. I've led workshops on story structure, character, escalation, and narrative craft. I hold a BA from the University of Pennsylvania.

Machine Learning/ AI

I work professionally as an AI practitioner, building automated AI systems for business clients using tools including Claude, ChatGPT, and the Anthropic and OpenAI APIs. I have hands-on experience with prompt engineering, AI workflow design, and integrating large language models into real applications. In addition to technical AI work, I use generative AI tools daily across writing, image generation, video generation, and audio production, including Midjourney, DALL-E, Runway, and ElevenLabs. My background spans both the applied engineering side of AI and practical creative use, giving me broad working knowledge across the subject.
