I am a writing teacher, college admission essay writing consultant, and website copy SEO writer and editor based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, but I provide services worldwide.

Background

My love for communication and business writing began to blossom in two upper-division English composition courses that I took while completing my 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 my mind and inspire me 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, I 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, I decided to use my expertise to start my writing business, Words. Creating and developing it has been an organic process. The business has bloomed and evolved over the past decade to meet my clients’ varying needs and continues to do so. Current services include English writing classes for local and overseas kids and teens, admission writing consulting services for college applicants, and website copy SEO writing and editing services for small business owners.   

Continuing Education

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

All in all, I have a love for writing, and it radiates from my work, whether I am helping kids and teens 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.
