Experience
I have taught writing at St Edward's University since 2002, and before that I was a guest teacher at many Austin public schools, working with 8-18 year olds on their writing. I have tutored 8-22 year olds in writing and reading for ten years. Students tell me that I change their relationship to writing, helping them realize that writing can be enjoyable and that they have the ability to be good at it. Everyone has their own style of learning, their own particular strengths, and a teacher's job is to identify and promote a student's strength. I am a practicing writer, having published a book-- Gated Grief-- that was a finalist for the Texas Book Award in 2013.
