I specialize in short stories, poetry, personal essays, memoir, and college essays. With my guidance, many of my students have won writing contests and/or published their pieces in literary journals, anthologies, magazines, or e-zines.
Many of my high school and college students
have been admitted to their first choice undergraduate and graduate schools due in
large part to their superlative personal statements and college essays.

Coughing punctuates The quiet LA evening My husband is sick
Texas maladies Brought back to ail in LA Have him hacking hard
Tomorrow may bring A trip to the Urgent Care Medicine to aid
He is quiet now But only for a brief time Before the cough quakes
I hope he can sleep He needs time to get better A long night ahead
