Writing, Curriculum, Content Development, Grant Writing & Online Instruction

I’m a writer, editor, educator, and curriculum developer with 20+ years of experience turning complex ideas into clear, engaging, audience-centered communication.

My work spans writing and editing, curriculum and instructional design, educational content, grant writing, and online teaching. I’ve developed and edited 300+ educational resources, taught writing, digital media, and communications at both the K12 and college levels, and secured more than $425,000 in grant funding for client organizations.

I’m especially interested in work that requires careful reading, research, language expertise, editorial judgment, and independent problem-solving—whether I’m developing a curriculum, evaluating a piece of writing, researching a grant opportunity, or helping a student become a stronger writer.
