I'm a professional writer and designer with a reputation of strong, succinct messaging. Since graduating from Pratt Institute in 2007, I've published several short stories and non-fiction pieces in addition to working with various non-profits to build successful promotional materials. Reading is my deepest passion, and more than anything, I want to help students get excited and confident with their ability to tackle the toughest works in their curriculum. I'm also a history nerd who worked as a part-time tour guide in Manhattan. My best teachers were the enthusiastic ones, and I firmly believe it's the key to helping students engage and gain confidence. I hold a BFA in Writing for Performance, Publication, and Media.
