- Writing Workshops: I have 10 years of experience working with both veteran and new writers to find and fine tune their craft. My focus is always empowerment, and I bring my background as a writer and performer to bear in uplifting everyone who I fellowship with – I believe all of our voices have the potential to change the world.
- Sample of workshop offerings: Intro to Poetry, A Study of Nontraditional Forms, Perfecting the Long Poem, From Page to Stage, Concrete Poetry, and more!

Together these writers study, create, and publish the stories of our community and our nation.

- Consulting/Editorial: You’ll often hear me say that one of my callings is to lift as I climb. The deeper I get into my career, the more I understand the value of giving everything I’ve experienced back. Whether for another set of eyes at the end of a manuscript’s journey or to help water a seed of an idea, I’m passionate about helping new and experienced writers bring their visions to life.
