Experience

With an academic background in both the sciences and humanities, I love tutoring writing across the curriculum. I currently teach a research-paper clinic, creative writing classes, literature, and a mindfulness-based social change course for Prescott College's Adult Degree Program. I also offer writing and mindfulness-based coaching, editing, tutoring, workshops, and retreats through my business, Cultivate Clarity (www.cultivateclarity.net). Additionally, I offer workshops and retreats through regional organizations including Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center, Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat Center, PCC's Art Beat Festival, Multnomah Arts Center, Zenger Farm, and other schools and universities. I have been publishing my own writing in literary journals and magazines since 2002 and have earned several awards for my scholarship, writing, and teaching. I would be happy to share my resume and references upon request.

Hobbies

The thing that people most commonly comment on is my laugh. I bring my sparkle with me wherever I go, and believe that even the most daunting tasks can be fun when approached with the right attitude. In addition to bright energy, I bring a mindfulness-based approach to my teaching and tutoring, so students not only develop writing skills, but cultivate inner resources that can help them remain calm, confident, and present as they rise to both personal and academic challenges. I spend my free time exploring the wilds by foot, cross-country ski, and canoe. And sitting on porches and swimming in mountain streams are two of my favorite things! I also blog regularly at www.CultivateClarity.net and I'm learning to draw and play the guitar.
