I started writing when I was thirteen. I loved writing and struggled with it like everyone else. But  through love and almost daily practice, I discovered the joy in it, and since then, I cannot help but share this joy with anyone who would listen. Writing is not easy, but it doesn't have to be so hard. It can be enjoyed.

​

I have Master's degrees in English, Linguistics, Human Resource Development, as well as Adult and Higher Education and a Ph.D. in Communication and Culture. I am proud to serve on the Board of Directors for the Chicago Young Writers Review.

 

With twenty-five years of experience as a writing instructor, coach, consultant, writing programs specialist, and an award-winning dissertation coach in US and Canada, I have helped thousands of writers to complete their dissertations, books, articles for publication, and other writing projects.

​

Working with writers is my joy, and I would love to help you achieve your writing dreams and goals if you would trust me with you work!

​

My passion is helping writers become more courageous, authentic, and kind to themselves. My mission is to protect as many writers as I can from self-doubt!

 

I live in Toronto, Canada, and when I'm not writing or meditating, I love to play tennis, practice yoga, or sit by the water and cloud watch for hours.

 

In my own writing practice, spanning three decades, I  discovered that beliefs we have about our writing are not different from the beliefs we have about ourselves, so a new way of writing often translates into a new way of living. What was impossible becomes probable and even likely when we learn to write and live without fear.
