The Sassy English Teacher Who Has Seen It All
Do you dread describing your accomplishments in professional settings?
Is a looming deadline making you uneasy?
Can't force yourself to finish a very necessary writing project?
People struggling with a project sometimes berate themselves because they think they should just know how to write, but that is not true. Writing is a skill we learn by practice. Maybe you just need the right coach?
You're not alone—and you don't have to figure this out by yourself.
I refine messages and crush deadlines, so you can get back to your life.
I believe in human potential. As a college English instructor, I have spent decades supporting writers who feel like outsiders to the places where they want to belong.
Working with words makes me happy. Helping clients articulate their strengths to academic and professional audiences is my specialty.
While I refine your current project for clarity and coherence, I also help you develop your own writing skills.

I work with lovely people locally in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and remotely everywhere else in the world.
Don't be a stranger.
With expertise developed over decades as an English instructor, editor, grant writer, and higher education administrator, I help with application materials, articles, theses, compliance reports, government documents, grant proposals, and any project that weighs you down.
My love languages include social justice, purposeful work, and really good coffee.
I have a Ph.D. in English from the University of Southern California and experience teaching at community colleges, private research institutions, state universities, and small liberal arts colleges. Currently, my home is in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.
