About Me

I love to teach. I come from a family of teachers and grew up in a household where my parents were both active, enthusiastic principals.

I started teaching English while I was studying psychology for my bachelor's degree. I fell in love with the international connections I was able to make with teaching ESL. Not only was I teaching students all over the world, but I got the opportunity to teach overseas in Korea where I taught adult students business English, conversational English, and book discussion. I've taught low-level beginners to advanced speakers and writers.

I'm a published author and produced screenwriter. I know how one sentence can have an incredible amount of impact. I have written dozens of novels, novellas, and scripts, and I have ghostwritten and edited mysteries, thrillers, horror, sci-fi, romance, and non-fiction to lead me to a successful freelance career.

I am friendly and a natural leader. I am passionate about education and writing. I am a highly-skilled professional, and I would love to see you in my class some day soon.

Education

Bachelor of Arts - Psychology - 2016, University of Manitoba

Experience / Qualifications

2020 to Current - Freelance, self-employed writer

2022 to Current - Instructor (Effective Written Communication & Basic Grammar and Editing), University of Winnipeg
In this day and age, writing is usually the way that we make our first impressions. Whether through text or email, our writing greatly reflects our professionalism and skills. I am a TESL-certified English teacher of over 7 years. I have taught students from all over the world, and I prioritize organization and friendliness to provide a productive student-centred learning experience. This class focuses on grammar and writing. As a published author and editor, I am an expert in grammar and sentence structure. I can help you: -Fix grammatical mistakes and help you understand the rules behind the errors. -Make your sentences more effective and easier to read. -Guide and edit to make your writing more concise and concrete. -Teach you skills to self-edit and improve punctuation and sentence structure. With a gentle and knowledgeable instructor, we can improve your English writing in a short period of time. I often use "The Blue Book of Grammar And Punctuation" by Lester Kaufman and Jane Straus to help supplement my lessons.
Humans are natural storytellers. We look for ways to share our stories and ideas with our community, and one of the best ways to do that is through effective creative writing. In this class, you'll learn how to: -Structure stories -Build characters -Write engaging dialogue -Hook readers to the page I can provide story and character consultation and general feedback on your current projects. This is a beginner class. I also offer intermediate and advanced creative writing for those who are looking for more specific feedback and skills. I am a published author and produced screenwriter. Don't miss your chance to take one of my classes. You and your writing skills won't regret it.
Writing is an individual and vulnerable process. When we creatively write, we are telling stories, and the effectiveness of each sentence affects how readers interpret our stories and us as writers. I know better than anyone how vulnerable it can be to share your writing. I also have an intimate understanding of the technical writing skills required to keep readers engaged and to get published. In this class, you'll learn how to: -Structure stories and paragraphs with appropriate beats and pacing. -Build complex, fully realized characters. -Write engaging, realistic dialogue in novel or screenwriting format. -Hook readers to the page using pacing techniques and red herrings. I can provide story and character consultation and feedback on your current projects. This is an advanced class. Please do not sign up for this class unless you have experience in creative writing. This may be a good class for a writer who has just finished their first novel and is looking for advice on editing and story consultation. It also may be a good opportunity for writers who have finished novels or scripts and are looking for advice on a new project. I also offer beginner and intermediate creative writing classes I am a published author and produced screenwriter. Don't miss your chance to take one of my classes. You and your writing skills won't regret it.
