Classes with Cat - 2020
Hi! I'm Cat and I am so grateful for this opportunity to work with your kiddos. Before moving to Nosara, I worked as a writing professor at the University of Colorado for twenty years. I also co-founded FLOW, a writing program for elementary and middle school kids. A year ago, I left my faculty position to move to Costa Rica, finish my novel, and inspire a love of literature and writing in young kids, to prepare them for success in higher education.

If you have a group of kids in need of a specific class, just let me know! From sounding out words all the way to novel writing and drafting college essays, I've created curricula across all age groups and learning styles. I work with adults, too!
