About Me

Experience Summary

I have a bachelor's degree from Coe College in Art History and Writing, which included both creative and technical writing courses for completion. As of 2013, I have a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Bowling Green State University. In addition to my academic achievements, I have worked at Bowling Green State University as an instructor of composition and creative writing. I taught both the Introduction to Academic Writing and the more advanced Academic Writing courses, as well as an undergraduate creative writing workshop. During this time, I was also the acting Managing Editor of the literary magazine, Mid-American Review. As Managing Editor, I was responsible for maintaining the mailing and subscription databases, communicating with authors and poets, setting work with Adobe InDesign, selecting works for publication, editing the magazine, and much more. Prior to this, I worked for three years as the Editor/Writer for Kuder, Inc., a company that specializes in career and education planning. In this capacity, I wrote and edited career biographies, marketing materials, technical manuals, website copy, white papers, bid proposals, and more.

Subject Commentary

Composition This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Experienced
I have taught undergraduate courses in academic writing and composition, with a focus on argumentative and business writing. I am able to tutor students in a variety of proficiencies and style guides, and focus first on the basic understanding of essay, paragraph, and sentence structure. In addition, I am experienced in tutoring students in regards to the essay audience, thesis, topic sentences, citation standards, and more.
Creative Writing This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
I am able to tutor students in fiction, nonfiction, and prose poetry. With an MFA in fiction and experience teaching creative writing in the undergraduate classroom, I am well-positioned to tutor students at any level of experience. Lessons are designed to personally accommodate the needs of each student. Some students prefer to focus on learning successful writing techniques; others seek in-depth feedback in order to better revise existing work. With a multitude of creative exercises and an encouraging, discerning approach, I am happy to tutor students who have different goals or genres.
Grammar Proficiency: Experienced
I have taught the rules of grammar to undergraduate students. I work best with those students who are truly struggling to understand the rules and their many exceptions.
Resume Writing Proficiency: Experienced
With over three years in the career and education planning business, I am well-equipped to tutor students in current resume writing standards. I can work to help students craft a single resume or, if needed, a collection of resumes based on the widespread distribution of their skills.
Writing This is one of my top subjects! Proficiency: Expert
As an experienced technical and marketing writer, I am able to tutor students with a wide variety of needs. Students may learn how to compose many different documents, as needed: bid proposals, technical manuals, corporate style guides, articles, scholarly publications, job application materials, website copy, and marketing materials.
