"I’m an experienced English instructor and writing coach with a passion for helping students express their ideas clearly, confidently, and with purpose. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from George Mason University, where I taught first-year composition and literature for several years, earning top evaluations for clarity, feedback, and accessibility. I’ve also worked as a university writing tutor for years, guiding undergraduates, graduate students, and multilingual writers through every stage of the writing process—from brainstorming and organization to argumentation, clarity, and revision.

In tutoring sessions, I emphasize active learning and collaboration. Rather than simply correcting errors, I help students understand the “why” behind their choices so they can apply those insights independently in future work. I tailor my approach to each student’s goals and learning style—whether that means demystifying thesis statements for a high schooler, unpacking complex literary arguments for a college paper, or refining structure and tone in a graduate thesis.

I especially enjoy working with students on essay writing, literature, and creative writing (fiction is my jam!), and I also support advanced academic and professional writing projects, including master’s and doctoral work. My students describe me as patient, encouraging, and intellectually engaging. Above all, I want students to leave our sessions not only with stronger writing, but with greater confidence in their own voice and ideas.
