Bringing 20+ years of teaching, writing and performing, and inspired by the work of authors like Gloria Anzaldua, the queer Chicana writer who called for authentic expression, hybrid tongues and identities, I founded WILD TONGUES Writing Coaching & Consulting to help you boldly express your authentic voice -- to boldly tell your authentic stories.

I want to help you find, fall in love with and express your voice. I will do this by:

• helping you spark flow, inspiration and consistency in your writing and creative practice

• helping you express clearly and powerfully to your audiences through prompts, exercises, & instruction

• offering my expert feedback on your writing and / or performance work

• offering personalized advice, tools, readings and inspiring dialogue with you to move to the next level

What can you expect? Move from...

• being stuck to...being in your creative flow

• feeling isolated or unseen to...feeling more visible and connected through your creative expression

• feeling unstructured to...feeling accountable

My Approach and Experience:
Spanning a variety of writing styles and modalities, my offerings are for beginning, intermediate and advanced-level writers; writing for performance, poetry, prose, essays, speeches and hybrid genres; creative writing as well as practical projects such as cover letters, resumes, mission statements and bios, job and academic applications. I also work with those who don't see themselves as writers in discovering the joys and benefits of a creative practice. I have a passion for supporting working mothers, BIPOC folks, immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, movers and multi-genre artists, but love working with people from all walks of life. I bring 20+ years of writing/performing/speaking and teaching creative writing, spoken word, grammar/composition, literature and other subjects from the community to the university levels, and a knowledge that my gift and life's work are in language.
