Experience Summary
I have over ten years of experience writing and editing creative and argumentative work. During and after graduate school, I taught composition, creative writing, American and world literature at liberal arts colleges and junior college throughout the south. When I moved to New York, I continued to write and edit, working with numerous authors in librarianship, international studies, and argumentation theory. I am most qualified to assist motivated high school and college students in any area of writing composition and introductory literature.
