Hi, my name is Merrick! I specialize in writing, essay coaching, and English tutoring for students at all levels. Whether you are working on a college application essay, prepping for a standardized test, or just trying to become a stronger, more confident writer, I would love to help!

I am a two-time graduate of Brown University. I completed my BA with honors in Film and Literary Arts and I'm currently finishing my MFA in Literary Arts. As an undergraduate, I was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and in 2020, I was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to study experimental writing and poetry in Portugal.

Between my undergraduate and graduate degrees, I lived in New York City for five years where I worked as an independent tutor, specializing in reading, writing, and ISEE and SSAT test prep for elementary and middle school students. During my time as an MFA student, I have designed and taught two college-level creative writing workshops. This summer, I will be teaching an arts workshop for high schoolers as part of Brown University’s pre-college program. I am also at work on my first novel, so I bring a working writer's perspective to everything I do. I’m here to help your student strengthen their writing and find their own unique voice. Reach out and let’s get to work!

Adobe Premiere

Adobe Premiere

I began working professionally as a video editor, using Adobe Premiere as my primary software, for Brown University Media Services—the office that handles the production of 90% of Brown University’s video content— back in 2016. After I graduated with my BA in Film Production and Literary Arts, I became the Associate Video producer at the NYC-based digital publication, Triple Canopy. At Triple Canopy, I used Adobe Premiere almost daily, and I edited a 3-channel video for an exhibition at the RISD Museum. Later, I went on to work as an Assistant Editor in advertising at the post house, Other NYC, where I used Adobe Premiere to edit videos for clients including Target and IKEA.
