About
I am a retired professor of College Writing and American History. I have several publications and have received all-university awards for exceptional teaching.
I love helping students succeed in their classes and gain success in their college and graduate school applications. It is so rewarding to watch your students succeed. I am so grateful to work with young people. Teaching has been the career of my dreams.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get a sense of the student's general background and to learn about their specific strengths and weaknesses. We would also discuss what specific learning styles best suit them. After that, we would go over the specific work for which they need help.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have many years of teaching college writing, history, and public policy at James Madison College at Michigan State University. I have also worked with many students on college application and graduate school application essays (and also been on review committees for admissions). I have a Ph.D. in American Studies from Boston University.
