What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can educate through clear, compelling writing while applying data analysis to strengthen outcomes. I thrive creating learning materials, technical documents, and proposals that help teams maximize excellence.

I’m an educator and professional writer with a Master’s in Science in Professional Writing from New York University. My training spans style and rhetoric, document design, technical writing, information architecture, and writing proposals and grants.

Since 2021, I’ve taught advanced and standard level English Language Arts to middle school students across multiple grade levels. I create literary and visual documents for lesson plans while actively using data analysis, differentiation, classroom management, project management, and community outreach to improve outcomes.

Alongside teaching, I’ve built a writing practice that includes curriculum manuals, business policies and procedures, press releases, grants, marketing objectives, contracts, case studies, research reports, and white papers for diverse clients and teams across digital and print media. I also managed employee, consumer, and public relations and drove sales through marketing and metric analysis, and earlier served as a Quality Assurance Analyst for online learning platforms through proofreading, editing, and technical quality checks. My published works include The Wealth of Self Love, and I was a ~2019 recipient of The Boyce Literary Prize, with additional writings featured in publications listed in my resume.
