An integral part of creative writing with students is pressing flowers.

Teaching

My goal is to make writing a joyful and creatively juicy experience. With teenagers, I aim to make writing fun through writing games and playful prompts, and by tying in what they already love. We make pinterest boards for setting and playlists for a character while also learning tools for how to generate and how to revise. I have my Master's in English Education from Iona, where I currently teach college composition.

Pedagogy stuff, if you're into that: project-based learning all the way. I love having my students make things. Passion-forward, inquiry-driven, arts-focused lover girl.
