Christina Caputo is a writing teacher, college admission essay writing consultant, and website content writer and editor based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, but she provides services worldwide.

Background

Her love for communication and business writing began to blossom in two upper-division English composition courses that she took while completing her undergraduate work at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). These two specialized writing courses, Media and Communications Writing and Business Writing, have remained at the forefront of her mind and inspire her daily.

Education

After graduating with honors from UCLA, earning a degree of Bachelor of Arts with a major in Psychology, a minor in Italian, and a specialization in Business and Administration, Christina completed the two-year-long Multiple Subject Teaching Credential Program with English Learner Authorization at California State University Sacramento, just a few miles from the California Department of Education, with an overall 4.0 GPA.

Experience

Eventually, in 2014, after obtaining hands-on experience in the educational field, she decided to use her expertise to start her writing business, Words. Creating and developing it has been an organic process. The business has bloomed and evolved over the past decade to meet her clients’ varying needs and continues to do so. Current services include English writing classes for local and overseas kids, admission essay writing consulting services for college applicants, and website content writing and editing services for small business owners.   

Continuing Education

Because Christina is a lifelong learner, in addition to teaching writing classes and providing writing consulting services full-time, she has been taking copyediting, including digital editing, courses through the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). She is also an active member of ChildNEXUS, ACES: The Society for Editing, the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA), and the Editorial Freelancers Association SF/Bay Area Chapter.

All in all, Christina has a love for writing, and it radiates from her work, whether she is helping kids fill in holes in their writing foundations and build upon them, helping applicants gain admission to their dream colleges, or helping small business owners improve their online writing so that it embodies professionalism.
