About Heidi

Hi, I'm Heidi, your friendly neighborhood reading and writing tutor with a twist! Armed with a master's degree in folklore and another in library science, along with a bachelor's degree in creative writing, I bring a unique blend of expertise and creativity to the table.

Driven by my passion for storytelling and fostering genuine connections with those around me, I thrive on bridging divides between people from all walks of life. In my work, I aim to amplify underrepresented voices and believe in the power of collaborative teaching to ignite change.

When I'm not busy inspiring the next generation of wordsmiths, you'll likely find me tending to my buzzing bee colonies or getting my hands dirty in the garden. Nature is my happy place, and I'm always up for a hike among the trees.

But don't let my lighthearted demeanor fool you—I am as goal-oriented and dedicated as they come. I'm on a mission to make learning fun and accessible for everyone, all while spreading a little silliness and joy along the way. So, if you're ready to embark on a literary adventure like no other, I'm your go-to guide!
