Learn

I teach with the same care, attentiveness, and curiosity that shapes my writing. Whether guiding students through the foundations of sewing or leading conversations about craft and language, I create spaces where creativity feels both accessible and meaningful. My teaching is grounded in process, patience, and the belief that making, whether with fabric or words, is a powerful way to understand ourselves and the world around us.

As a published poet and author, I bring depth and clarity to writing instruction. I teach workshops and present at conferences, offering insight into both craft and creative process.

A Practice of Making and Meaning

Across every class and workshop, My teaching returns to a central idea: that making is a way of paying attention. Through sewing, writing, and shared creative work, students are invited not just to learn a skill, but to engage more deeply with their own experiences and the world around them.
