About Jess

My teaching style is patient, collaborative, and student-focused. I help writers gain confidence by clarifying their ideas, strengthening structure, and refining language while honoring each student’s unique voice. I aim to make the writing process feel approachable and empowering, equipping students with tools they can carry into future work.

When I’m not writing, teaching, or facilitating writing workshops, I love being in the forest, listening to vinyl records, and wandering the shelves of local used bookstores.
