About
Hi, I’m Katie.
I am a writing coach, teacher, poet, writer, mother, buddhist, and world citizen based in New Haven, CT.
Approach and Background
Approach: My goal as a writing coach is to help you find the space where where you feel peaceful and confident about your writing.
Background: I grew up overseas in India, Turkey, and West Africa, attending French and American international schools. Communication was sometimes a struggle with each transition.
Why I coach/teach/write: Recalling theses childhood struggles inspired me to teach and to work as a writing coach.
Writing is a core skill for students of all ages, for students applying to college, and for professionals. Knowing how to communicate effectively will help you in your job, your relationships, and in your interactions with others.
