I grew up in Harlem and was born with Cerebral Palsy, which affects my right side. I walk a little slower and have limited mobility in my right hand, but these experiences have given me deep understanding of facing challenges with determination.
I truly get what it feels like when things don't come easily. You're not alone.
I've earned five degrees, including three in performing arts, and spent 25+ years as an academic librarian before teaching. My passion is helping students discover their voices and achieve their goals.

I Promise You To:
-Meet you where you are confident writer or nervous beginner
-Provide patient, encouraging feedback I build you up, never tear you down
-Create a supportive environment; all questions welcome
-Help you find your unique voice; your perspective matters

Every student can succeed with the right support. I'm here to help you:
Build confidence in your abilities Express yourself clearly Overcome writing anxieties Achieve seemingly impossible goals
Whether you're struggling with learning differences, feeling overwhelmed, or uncertain about your abilities, I see you, support you, and believe in you.
Your challenges don't define your potential. You belong here, and you can absolutely do this.
I'm your advocate and guide. When you're stuck, we'll work through it together. When you succeed, I'll celebrate with you.
Let's make this journey amazing!
