"Hello! I'm Michelle. I hold a BA in English with a minor in creative writing from the University of North Florida and an MFA in creative writing from Hollins University. My teaching experience includes substitute teaching grades K-12, tutoring English and essay writing, and teaching creative writing as a teaching fellow and literature as a course assistant at Hollins University. I am also a published writer and a copy editor for a magazine.

I believe that English and writing skills are essential not only for success but also for one's personal growth and the way they navigate the world. By understanding how language is used, and can be used, we understand how others relate to us and how we can relate to others. When teaching creative writing, my aim is not to have the student write a certain way, but to collaboratively find ways to make their own writing shine.

Please feel free to contact me any time, as I would be more than happy to discuss any questions or concerns you may have." less...
