Writing

With a classical K-12 education to get me started and a personal love of all things language, I've invested a lot into developing my verbal skills over the years. Among other things, I lucked into the pleasure of teaching English as a second language. Working with ESL students and their parents for almost half a decade now, I have acquired what may well be a lifetime's worth of experience in getting at what people are really trying to say. As a result, I'm an articulate and effective communicator: a strong writer and speaker and an even better reader and listener.
