Bio

I'm a recent PhD in English Literature. I want to read what you're writing (and reading)!

I can help you get lost in a book, or find your way out of a tricky sentence. I'm empathic and patient. I recognize that there are many different ways to be smart, and I believe there is no such thing as a "bad writer." I have have had experience teaching college-level literature and writing, both one on one and in the classroom. Be warned: I may geek out over your assigned reading!

• 2007: Graduated from Barnard summa cum laude
