MY STORY
I started writing when I was thirteen. I loved writing and struggled with it like everyone else. But after transforming my own practice from stressful and frustrating to joyful, I fell in love with writing 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.
​
I'm excited to learn about your writing dreams, so get in touch today! The first call is always free.
Around 80% of doctoral students in North America do not complete their degree. To date, 100% percent of people who hired me as a dissertation coach, have completed their degrees, and most of them, within six to twelve months after our first meeting.

I'm happy to chat about how coaching works, so you can see if it's right for you. The initial talk is free, so drop me a line, and we can set up some time to talk.
