About

I am a published award winning poet and have been teaching English and Creative Writing for 21 years at a public high school in NJ. I am certified in English and Drama and have a Masters Degree in Teaching. I was short-listed for The Fish Poetry Prize & nominated for a Pushcart Prize in 2022.

I can come to you or you can come to me.

I am a veteran teacher with years of experience working with students of all ages. I am an excellent editor and I am versed in college essay writing and in creative and analytical writing. I'm a published author so when I'm not working with students I work on strengthening my own writing. I like the moment when I see a concept or writing piece click for the student.

    Frequently asked questions

    I like to assist students in coming up with ideas. After that I help with the process of proofreading and editing.

    I also enjoy reading passages aloud with students and dissecting meaning together.

    I am flexible. Depends on travel time and student need. 

    I began as a youth theater director realized I loved working with kids and pursued a career in teaching. Since that time I have become a published author and acclaimed poet. I love working with students to be their best! 

    I teach 5 classes a day. Each class has approximately 25-30 students. 10th-12th grade. I am very patient and work with students of all levels. I am excellent and versed at differentiating instruction. I have also worked with young children as both a drama director and a writing coach. 

    I had a former student thank me in front of a crowd of people at my launch for my poetry collection. 

    Find a teacher passionate about what they do and enjoy sharing their knowledge with others!
