About
Hello there! I'm a Word person. I love to discuss, write, and teach writing for school, work, or pleasure. I have enjoyed many years of success as a writer, avid reader, and writing teacher. I am happy to meet with you in my quiet digital office.
What do you want to write? What help would you like? Let's get started. I hope to hear from you. I like hearing voices and making them come alive in essays, stories, job applications, letters, and emails. I am especially eager to work with active duty service members or veterans of any age, branch, or academic experience. Let's get started!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I enjoy getting to know my students and letting them tell me what kind of writing they like to do. Why do they want to work with a tutor? What kind of help do they feel they need? What will success look like? How much time will it take for the student to reach the finish line? I will start where the student is and with the goal in mind.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have thirty years of professional teaching experience, mostly in higher education, and more recently as an online tutor and manuscript editor. I have earned a Ph.D. in philosophy and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing. I can help students with English papers, business proposals, short fiction, drama, and poetry writing, as well as written correspondence. I'll do my best for you!
