I am a freelance education writer for organizations and individuals interested in education, writing, teaching and race. I am also an Educator-in-Residence at Design Cofounders, where I help with the development and facilitation of Education pathways in Design & Entrepreneurship communities in Toronto. I also teach composition and literature. I am passionate about teaching & learning, student voice, professional development, writing and literature. I am currently working on The Writing Project, an essay writing platform for students, because I believe that writing gives students a voice. When students are empowered and inspired their voice translates into meaningful words that have the power to change the world.
I have written articles and blogged for newspapers and websites around the country. I have more than 25 years of journalism experience, most of that working at a daily newspaper and I know the importance of meeting deadlines.

I write about everyone’s favorite dinner party topics: race, the culture wars and God. But don’t worry, I try to mix it up with less popular subjects like blockbuster movies, Netflix’s new binge-worthy show and Jay-oncé’s latest baby pic trending on Twitter.
I spin words for the web, print and TV—from politically-themed poetry and researched news stories—to catchy website copy and restaurant reviews.

I have an accessible writing style that fuses academic analysis with accessible language for various reading levels. I don’t get hung up in academic jargon and if needed to use I define in ways folks w/o academic experience may participate. I also have experience writing for youth audiences.
