I am an author coach, editor, and writer. I hold a BA in English Literature from the University of California at Berkeley, an MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts (focus on writing for children and young adults), and a TESL Certificate from the University of Cambridge. For five years, I served as a Regional Advisor for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, guiding and educating hundreds of writers and illustrators in their careers. I am associated with Angelella Editorial and available for hire on Reedsy, an online platform that helps writers connect with professionals with extensive experience in publishing.
