Writing coach & essay tutor. No red-pen shame.
Vegan-first, shared space
Writing coach and essay tutor. I help high-schoolers, grad applicants, and people who haven't written since college find the sentence they actually mean. All sessions online; my coffee is oat. I'm patient with bad first drafts and honest about what isn't working yet.

Dante's feedback was thoughtful and specific — he cut my opening paragraph and was completely right. Turnaround slipped by a day once, but he flagged it before I had to ask. Would book again.
