I'm an educator and artist with an MFA and five years of experience teaching in the classroom, plus over a decade of professional work in writing, photography, and design. I've taught students of every level, from young learners just building their skills to college students and adult artists refining advanced work, and I genuinely enjoy the moment when something that felt confusing finally clicks for someone. My teaching background includes both one-on-one work and full classrooms, always with an emphasis on meeting each student exactly where they are.
In writing and essays, my graduate training in academic and critical writing lets me help students with everything from grammar and structure to thesis development, revision, and college application essays. In photography and Photoshop, I bring years of professional experience with film, digital, darkroom, and editing, and I can teach both the technical foundations and the creative side. In art, I've taught drawing, design, and studio practice across many mediums. I also tutor Spanish at a working conversational level for students building their foundations.
My approach is patient, encouraging, and practical. I believe skill in writing and art is learned, not something you're simply born with, and I focus on building both ability and confidence so students trust their own ideas. Whether you want to raise a grade, finish a strong application essay, learn your camera, or develop your creative voice, I'll help you get there at a pace that works for you.
