My Story
Committed to Education for Over Twenty-Five Years
My career began in the international non-profit sector, working with educators from the former Soviet Union. I then shifted to the classroom, where I spent 15 years teaching English Language Arts, first in the Boston Public Schools and later at the American School of Lima, Peru. I am now pursuing a Ph.D. in English — with a focus in writing studies — at UMass Amherst, where I teach writing to undergrads. I have also served as a mentor to other instructors and as a graduate tutor in the Writing Center.

I became a National Board Certified Teacher in 2013.

I consistently receive high student evaluation ratings, especially in the areas of quality feedback and a supportive learning environment.
-
I have taught college application essay workshops for Upward Bound and Pre-College @ UMass Amherst.
-
I have presented at educational conferences in Brazil, Chile, and Peru, as well as at Harvard University and the Conference on College Composition and Communication.

My editing and consulting experience working with graduate students goes back two decades and includes clients from a variety of academic fields with a wide array of writing and language backgrounds.
My Services
"Miranda worked with both of my daughters on their college essays. She used different strategies for their different skills and styles of writing. Both of them were accepted into the colleges of their choice. Their final essays showed their voice and creativity and helped them stand out. Miranda is a skilled teacher who knows how to guide students on a personal path of improvement, taking them from where they are to where they need to go."
