About Me.
I'm a former tenured professor and the author of three nonfiction books and over a dozen academic articles. I have more than a decade of experience as a writing coach and college admissions counselor. I've worked with students and professionals from a variety of backgrounds at every stage of the writing process—from high school seniors crafting standout college essays to doctoral candidates completing dissertations, executives developing high-impact projects, and academics working on book projects. I have helped students gain admissions to top universities like Columbia, NYU, UCLA, and the University of Oregon, as well as competitive medical schools and PhD programs.
I bring both academic expertise and a deep understanding of writing as a practice—one that is challenging, but also one of the most rewarding forms of self-expression. To me, a good writing coach can make all the difference, offering the structure, accountability, and insight that turn a daunting project into a meaningful process of discovery.
As your coach, my goal is to empower your personal writing practice.
