about: For the past twenty years, I have worked with students of all ages, both in private practice and as a classroom teacher of students with language-based learning differences. Using innovative strategies and a passionate spirit, I help people get the most out of reading and writing (for school or for pleasure). I am a National Trainer for The Jane Schaffer Writing Program, which is a structured writing program that makes explicit what is often implicit about writing academic papers. In 2005, I proudly received The Walk of Heart’s teaching award after being nominated by a former student.​​I have a bachelor's degree in drama, a master's degree in special education and a learning specialist credential.

Each of us learns differently; each has unique gifts and struggles, and the planet is better off because of this diversity. I celebrate learners of all kinds, and I love to write about them. When I am not teaching or reading or writing, I can often be found on a yoga mat or watching The Big Lebowski and laughing out loud. ​OCD, THE DUDE, AND ME​ is my first novel.​I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, when I was in elementary school. Now I live in Los Angeles, California, with my husband, Robert. We are blessed with many wonderful friends and family. Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you find the time in your daily life to celebrate whatever package you came to the planet in, whatever way your brain works, and whatever you love to do. You deserve that. ...more
