Teacher expertise and credentials
As a world-class competitive debater and instructor, I bring a deep passion for writing and storytelling, honed through years of experience as a freelance writer for news and cultural publications. I’ve taught creative writing and storytelling to numerous students and grew up immersed in a family of illustrators and storytellers, which shaped my creative imagination. My journey began with professional writing for my university newspaper, sparking a lifelong interest in culture and expression. Over the years, I’ve guided debaters in crafting winning speeches and college essays, and I’ve shared my own creativity through journals, blogs, and newsletters. Writing is not just my passion—it’s my way of empowering others to share their ideas and stories with the world.Reviews
