What Clarice does

As a Story Mentor, I help my clients discover and explore their personal stories. Then I help them express their stories in small business websites, professional articles, nonfiction books, personal journals and more. My services include personal coaching, writing coaching, editing and website design.

What Clarice does best

I am an expert at helping people tell their stories--from personal journaling to professional articles and small business websites.

What does Clarice need?

I would like to interview--and write articles about--people who have changed their life experience by changing the story they tell themselves. If you have a story to share (or you know someone who does), please contact me.

Education

I have an MA in Writing with an emphasis on Publishing from Portland State University. I also have an MA in Linguistics and a BA in German and French from the University of Utah.

Experience

My career experience has ranged from academia to the corporate and nonprofit worlds. What has united all of my jobs is a love of writing, teaching and mentoring.

As a young adult, I taught English as a second language for eight years in Mexico City, Mexico; Kabul, Afghanistan (Peace Corps Volunteer); and Portland, Oregon. Then I joined the corporate world, where I wrote and edited business communications and marketing materials for mostly high-tech software companies.

In 2002, I returned to school to earn an MA in Writing/Publishing. While doing so, I also taught undergraduate writing composition courses and consulted one-on-one with students in the Writing Center.

I have maintained my own coaching and wordsmithing business since 2004.
