A writing teacher who actually likes helping people figure things out.
I hold two master's degrees in writing, rhetoric, and literature, and I have spent years working with language, research, and communication.
My approach is practical: understand what the student is trying to say, identify what's getting in the way, and build the skills to make the next assignment easier—not just fix the current one.
