In 2020, I began freelancing while searching for full-time work. Drawn to entrepreneurship, I continued taking on client projects even after starting my career as an instructional designer in higher education. This journey led me to formally establish MWCS in 2022. Creating MWCS has allowed me to channel my skills as a writer and learning designer into work that aligns deeply with my passions.

Since I started graduate school in 2016, creating content for learners pursuing higher education has been the focus of my career. At various times, I have worked as a professor of writing and linguistics, an instructional designer focusing on faculty training and online course design, and as a customer success manager for an educational technology company. By academic training, I am a writer and a linguist, holding an undergraduate degree in Spanish and graduate degrees in TESL and English. The best part of teaching professional writing was that I got to work with hundreds of upperclassmen in STEM fields who were preparing to apply for their first jobs or to graduate programs. 

On a more personal note, I was born and raised in Connecticut, but I moved away at eighteen. I studied in South Carolina and lived for eight years in the Palouse region of the Idaho panhandle before returning to my home state in 2024. Between starting a career and launching a business during the pandemic, pursuing my hobbies of travel and creative writing has been difficult in recent years. However, I have lived or studied in Spain, Nicaragua, Honduras, Indonesia, and Uruguay at different times. My creative nonfiction and poetry has been published in various online and print literary journals, and I continue aspiring toward traveling and writing for fun.

Today, I am thrilled that MWCS allows me to use my skills as a writer, trainer, instructional designer, and educator to help clients who are share a commitment to making a positive impact. My focus is on projects, products, and courses that expand access to education and economic opportunity. 

Whether you represent a private-sector organization, non-profit, school district, or university, MWCS is here to meet your writing, learning design, and educational material needs. Dedicated to your mission and the people and learners you serve, I aim to be the partner who brings your vision for content and coursework to life.
