Thanks for being here. 

​

I'll cut to the chase — let me tell you why I write. 

 

I write because I am energized by weaving together connections I see in the world through words. I believe that the intersection of vulnerability and professionalism expressed through writing and art can lead us to a more productive and kinder world. 

​

I currently work as a 3rd grade English Language Arts teacher at a Chicago Public School on the city's south side. In 2023, I received my master's degree in Education at University of Pennsylvania with a focus on English and Language Arts. I graduated in 2020 from University of Michigan with a degree in Organizational Studies and Writing, with a specialty in narrative non-fiction. 

​

I have editing and writing experience as The Michigan Daily's Copy Chief and Deputy Statement Editor. I formerly worked as a Copy Desk intern at The Detroit Free Press. Today, I am focused on consulting and editing college applications and personal statements to help others tell their stories.
