"Greetings, my name is Jamie! I am Diné from Fort Defiance, AZ but I spent much of my life here in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I completed my BFA in Creative Writing in 2021, graduating from The Institute of American Indian Arts. I have also been awarded scholarships to attend various summer programs at noted writing institutions in Colorado and California. I expect to enroll in an MFA program to further my career as a writer this year. My experiences in applying for college and working toward a degree give me tools to help you navigate both the process and the work of writing application essays which are heavily weighted in the college admission process.

I have countless hours of experience editing, proofreading, and strengthening fellow writers' work both creatively and academically. I am certain I would be a strong addition to your educational journey if given the chance. Reading and writing are areas that I excel in, and I believe I can extend those talents to their best use in helping you reach your goals by focusing intent and developing the delivery of information that best suits your content. I am a supporter of all artforms and believe that using various paths of understanding can lend themselves to understanding oneself on a deeper level as well as understanding better what drives your dreams.

If you are looking for direction, editing, proofreading, clarity, or general help in understanding content, consider working with me. I thrive on communication, collaboration, questions, and helping others (you!) achieve their goals in writing. Let us find the voice together!" less...
