Bio
I am an author, reader, dreamer, and logophile. I love languages and helping people become the best version of themselves.
I've mentored young writers in the US and South Africa. I believe in encouragement. I believe that people learn when they are having fun. I'm passionate about my subjects, I'm a great listener, and I know what it's like to learn a foreign language. I like to keep things light and anxiety-free!
