I work one-on-one to mentor my students and help them succeed. I can work on a project-by-project basis or help with long-term writing goals. Together we will identify where your skills lie, and where we can work to improve your talents.
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Writing and extensive editing experience. I am here to help you learn to perfect your writing - be it an essay, a short story, a cover letter, or anything else you can think up! I can help with everything from concept to sentence structure to grammar. I can't wait to work with you!
Please give 48 hours notice for cancellations or schedule changes. I am happy to help you find another time that works for you!
