About Me

I’ve built my life around words — reading them, writing them, teaching them, and helping other people find their own.

​

My path has taken me from journalism to the classroom to professional writing and editing, but the thread running through all of it has remained the same: I believe words matter.

​

For more than 20 years, I’ve helped people communicate what they think, what they know, and who they are.

 

I’ve taught students to become stronger, more confident writers. I’ve helped young people tell their stories through college essays and personal statements.

 

I’ve worked with businesses and organizations to clarify their message and connect with the people they serve.

 

And I work alongside writers as they shape ideas, strengthen their craft, and find the courage to keep going.

​

I’m also a lifelong reader and writer who believes stories can change the way we understand ourselves and one another.

 

When I’m not working with clients or students, you’ll usually find me reading, writing my own creative nonfiction, wandering a Colorado trail, or playing with my dog. 

​

I believe finding your voice can change what comes next — whether you're applying to college, building a business, or finally writing the story you've been carrying.

Words Matter

I believe good writing begins with listening — to the person, the purpose, and the voice behind the words.

 

My job isn't to make everyone sound the same. It's to help you sound more fully like yourself.

Academic Voice

Helping students develop confidence, independence, and writing that reflects who they are.

Professional Voice

Helping businesses and professionals communicate clearly, authentically, and with purpose.
