About
I hold a Masters in Publishing from City St. George’s University of London, and two Bachelors of Art in Philosophy and World Literature & Culture from University of California, Santa Cruz. I am trained to read closely and find the themes and meaning between the lines.
I currently work in higher education and have taught English as a second language in private language schools in America and in primary schools in Japan. I have experience as a reader and provided feedback on submissions at literary magazines, and have supported students at the university level on their writing and mapping their goals within higher education.
My favorite genres to read are adult fantasy, historical fiction, literary fiction, and contemporary romance. I enjoy books geared towards YA and middle grade audiences, and have a great appreciation for autobiographical graphic novels and horror manga.
