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.

Year-round, I teach classes through Story Circle Network, an organization dedicated to helping women share the stories of their lives and to raising public awareness of the importance of women's personal histories.

Our dogs, Cordelia and Sammie, are with Rachael right now. I am missing them tonight, so here are some dog cartoons from The New Yorker Book of Dog Cartoons that I thought were funny and you might, too. I hope so, at least!
Yes, as you can see, I’m a little homesick for my Cordelia and Sammie. I know they are in good hands with Rachael and William, the cat here at home is luxuriating in the dogs’ absence, but alas…
Hope these brought a smile. They certainly did to me.
