Portfolio

Throughout my career, I have written and edited content for many different audiences. Most of my professional experience is in educational publishing for Grades K-12, and I have worked on both student and teacher versions of assessment, reading, science, social studies, and literature projects. In addition, I have also written and edited marketing and informational content for adult audiences. Below are some examples of my work.

Grade 4 Fiction

Realistic Fiction Read Aloud

I wrote this Grade 4 content for the Teacher's Edition to help teachers introduce their students to the genre of realistic fiction. This read aloud tells the story of a young boy who worries about what lunch will be like on his first day at a new school.

I write quarterly emails to my subscribers to tell them about my writing life. This example shows how I connect what I'm reading to what I'm thinking about writing and life.
