About Me
I am a former high school and college educator, writer, and certified life coach. For nearly 20 years, I helped people ages 14-50+ learn how to express their ideas in English classrooms. By sharing ideas in writing and conversation, I also supported students as they made life transitions.
Now, I’m doing the same work in a more personal setting. No matter how or why you are seeking a change, I’m here to support you in discovering and moving back or toward your most true self and a place where you can thrive.
I love to work with people who are:
-
This may include things like
going to college
changing careers
moving to a new community
welcoming children
becoming an empty nester
-
This may include
new diagnoses including chronic illnesses, neurodiversities, learning disabilities, etc.
divorce/long-term breakup
pursuing a new career whether by choice or force.
-
I’m here to help with:
fleshing out a new idea
building an idea into a story
Developmental editing for content, pacing, etc.
writing query letters & synopses
-
This might look like
revamping a unit
planning a course for a quarter, semester, or year
creating a new unit from scratch
designing supplementary concepts to meet core requirements
