Overview
While studying Creative Writing at Fairleigh Dickinson University, I quickly fell in love with the workshop environment and immediately joined the school’s Literary & Arts Magazine. From then on, I knew that as much as I enjoyed writing, I preferred helping others create stories and books they could be proud of.
Throughout college and for some time after, I taught tap classes at my childhood dance studio, Fusion Dance Centre, and only picked up the occasional rough draft from friends. But while I loved my students and my Fusion Family, I was itching to seriously get back into the literary world. I left to pursue a freelance copywriting career where I completed a few one-off jobs before discovering Creator Institute in March 2019. (You can find some of the titles I've worked on below.)
I am a huge proponent for the workshop environment as I believe a collaborative experience creates the most interesting, insightful, and polished works. Open feedback, honest critique, and a good deal of cheerleading
is the direct line to a book worth being proud of.
