Empowering Students to Write Their Truths:
Creative writing workshops rooted in culture, identity, and student voice.
I am a registered vendor with the NYC Department of Education and offer bilingual creative writing workshops, book publishing projects, and family programming designed to support academic growth, identity development, and student voice.
My workshops are aligned with Common Core standards and can be tailored to extend what students are learning during the school day. Whether through poetry, storytelling, or self-reflection, students learn to write with intention, pride, and personal power.
Programs & Services Offered:
-
Creative Writing Workshops & Residencies (Grades 3–12)
Standards-aligned and tailored to classroom needs, school-wide themes, or ELA units. Adaptable for ELLs and CRSE-aligned instruction. -
Student Book Publishing Projects
End-to-end writing experiences that guide students through the writing, revision, and publishing process—culminating in printed anthologies that elevate student voice and foster literacy. -
