About Me:
Working with students for more than 15 years teaches me how each person learns best.
Partnering with universities pulls back the curtain to reveal what schools want.
Writing professionally gives me the skills to help struggling learners overcome blocks.
As English department chair and teacher at Cheltenham High School for more than a decade, I guided hundreds of applicants through the college essay writing process and taught thousands of students to build strong writing habits while demystifying the process. From guiding reluctant writers to scaffolding learning supports, I help eliminate students' pain points—I've even coached multiple winners in the competitive New York Times Student Editorial Contest.
My expertise comes from years of curriculum development, diverse classroom experience, and my work as a professional freelance writer for local and national clients. I hold degrees from Penn State (BA Political Science/English), Arizona State (BA Theatre), and Arcadia University (MA English/Education).
Let me help you transform dreaded blank screens into fully-polished pieces and arm you with writing tools for your academic and professional lives.

In addition to working with students, clients I’ve written for run the gamut from blogs for veterinary offices to website copy for national property management companies.
If I don’t have a pen or book in my hand, find me in the yoga studio or out walking my three rescue dogs.
