Writing Is an Act of Courage...
and a Life Skill
Writing can be challenging for all of us.
You might start to wonder…
Do I have anything meaningful to say?
You do.
Let’s Discover Your Best Thoughts
As a secondary English teacher of thirty years and a published writer, I know that each person has something valuable to write. With expertise, humor, and creativity I will inspire you to discover your source material and teach you the skills to tackle writing projects.
As a writer I know how challenging it is to confront the blank page.
As a parent I understand how hard it is to help your children with writing.
As a teacher I know how to empower the writer to do this on their own.
A Marin County resident, I work with students and adults remotely and in person.
