Meet Jennifer
Literary Arts Educator & Published Writer
I have over a decade of teaching experience, mentoring young writers in a variety of academic settings. Years ago, I earned an MFA in Creative Writing at Mills College & I've published fiction, poetry, and memoir.
​
I foster students’ unique talents, equipping them with tailored skills to succeed. As a published writer, I understand the challenges of writing, and I love mentoring teenagers so they may discover their strengths and confidence.
