For more than 25 years, I taught English and writing at both the secondary and college levels. Along the way, I collaborated on publishing and editing projects and presented at conferences across the country. In the later years of my education career, I shifted into coaching, working closely with teachers and administrators to support their professional growth.

Since retiring from education, I’ve continued to expand my work as a coach, writer, and consultant in educational, non-profit, and corporate spheres. I hold a Ph.D. in English from the University of Nebraska, an M.A. in English from the University of Wisconsin, and a B.A. in English and philosophy from the University of Texas. I am certified by the Association of Proposal Management Professionals and a member of several professional coaching organizations.

Through Boster Consulting and Coaching, I partner with clients to:

• Collaborate on professional, personal, and creative writing projects

• Provide editing and proofreading services

• Conduct and support research projects

• Develop winning proposals and grants

• Offer coaching for career and life transitions

My approach is straightforward and collaborative. I listen first, ask questions, and bring clarity to each project. Clients often describe me as detail-oriented and organized, while also encouraging and honest.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, gardening, and going to concerts here in Omaha, Nebraska. I work with clients virtually across the country and in person throughout the Omaha metro area.
