I am a cultural writer, educator, and project-oriented communications professional completing a PhD in English from the University of California Riverside (June 2026).  I am also currently completing Project Management Professional (PMP) training with a focus on public-sector coordination. I am the founder of West Coast Writing Tutors, a tutoring company specializing in quality one-on-one writing instruction, and I am also launching the public history account Cabinet of Curio where I share the weird world of US history and culture.
