Who am I?

I've been an editor for over 15 years. I've worked for a Literary Agent, published my own articles and I've also worked in Education for over 12 years. I enjoy helping a company, individual or author perfect their writing; in order for the world to understand them and get their message out to the world. 

I've spoken at global summits for entrepreneurs such as 2024 the WYN Conference: Tapping into Creativity in Leadership. The Power of Women's Leadership: Breaking Barriers and Building Bridges. 2024 CATE CA Teacher's of English Conference on the Project Based State Standard lesson plans I've designed. 500+ attendees for graduation ceremonies. 400+ student assembly all day activities, Link Crew Coordinator. District of Education conferences/meetings. I was hired to teach the United States Department of Education leaders during Covid by Stanford University. 

​

I've taught in private, charter, public, and Title One schools. I taught 7-12 grade and a 4/5 split grade class. During my first year of teaching, I was nominated teacher of the year in Placer County, California, for designing the English Department for a newly founded charter school. Stanford University asked me to teach my strategies to numerous leaders at the Department of Education during COVID to support students. Several teaching organizations, such as PreAP, ERWC, WASC committees, and BTSA instructors, have also watched and learned from my teaching tactics. I've also worked with UNR and Sierra College student teachers and professors in their teaching programs to support new teachers. 

​

My goals

I want to inspire people to be innovative in their personal and professional lives. I want to increase diversity, include all voices at the table, and help people create the map to achieving their dreams.  I want to work with business leaders, employees, government workers and leaders in creating a better world for us all and future generations. 

I want to inspire teachers to use their creativity in designing lessons that allow students to choose how they showcase their skills and knowledge in the classroom. Let's help create future leaders by focusing on curiosity and creativity.
