Meet Michael

I'm a full-time freelance writer, language expert and educator, specializing in writing about education, language in politics and intersections with LGBTQ identity. As an English teacher, I helped hundreds of students hone their writing craft, explore the thrill and complexity of English literature, and engage with the world more empathetically through language.
