I know how to work with student writers. I understand the admissions process and higher education landscape thoroughly. I have over 30 years experience as an educator, writing instructor, and professional writer/editor at Ohio State, other universities, and with private clients. My PhD is in English and have been on staff at St. Francis DeSales High School since 2019. I have worked with DeSales students on their college essays in the writing lab, as a substitute teacher for Senior English, and as requested by students, teachers, and parents.
