"I have a PhD in Communication from the University of Washington, where I taught writing for 10 years. I worked as a highly-awarded newswriter and editor before that, and I have published highly-cited work in academic journals. I have presented papers at top conferences around the world. I am skilled at developing research questions, hypotheses, and thesis statements, as well as organizing and formatting thesis papers. I excel at working with writing students, especially at the high school and college levels.

Above all, I will meet you where you are. I took myself from an 8th-grade dropout to a PhD and a successful writer, and I will approach your writing with warmth, humor, unflagging support, non-judgment, and a genuine joy in your success." less...
