Gwendolen graduated from the University of Chicago with a BA in English and from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop with an MFA in Creative Writing. She is currently finishing her Masters in English at the University of Cambridge. She has taught English and creative writing to undergraduates as well as high school students.

As an Essay Coach, Gwendolen’s approach to teaching is encouraging, direct, and flexible. She loves supporting young writers in honing their singular and dynamic stories. When she’s not reading or teaching, she’s probably sitting outside with her friends, relaxing with her family, and going on very short nature walks. She also volunteers her time providing essay editing support to underserved students through the The Jesse Kolber Foundation.
