I work with all genres of text at every requested stage of writing—from generating ideas to polishing a final draft. My process can be fully tailored toward specific needs, goals, and projects.

Past examples include personal statements, grants, speeches, doctoral dissertations, artist statements, cover letters, tenure applications, exhibition statements, and more. And my favorite: creative writing of all genres and styles. My editorial style is particularly suited to experimental or hybrid works.

Graduate school applicants I’ve worked with have been admitted to highly competitive art programs, fully-funded MFA programs, and top-ranked research universities.

I tutor anyone interested in developing their capacities as writers. My goal is to introduce skills and techniques that unburden the writing process and reframe it as a practice of discovery, enjoyment, and empowerment. I hope to support others in finding the “hum” that moves them, carries them, and allows them to become creators.

I have 8+ years of tutoring experience, a master’s degree in education, certification in teaching English as a second language, and training in special education.

French & Italian | translations and subtitles

Most notably, I translated Italian footage into English and wrote subtitles for the award-winning documentary “Maurizio Cattelan: Be Right Back” (2016).
