I have been writing and teaching writing in one form or another for more than 20 years.

An expert in composition and rhetoric, pedagogy, and literary and cultural studies, I began my career in higher education, earning my Ph.D. in English with a successful dissertation and peer-reviewed journal publications. I have created undergraduate and graduate-level writing curricula and helped to develop a university-wide Writing Across the Curriculum program.

My professional experience outside of the academy includes developmental editing and ghostwriting as well as instructional systems and curriculum design. I have taught and coached writing for graduate students and scholars in multiple disciplines, including STEM, and I have designed curriculum and coached writing for professionals and executives in government service and private industry.

I am a lifelong learner, a dedicated educator, and a professional with real experience applying my skills to successful projects. Let me help you build the skills for long term success.
