How can I help?

Online, you’ll find me doing two things.

One. I write. I edit. I help you write and edit. If you’re looking for my grant writing, copy editing, or English tutoring services, click here.

Two. I’m passionate about green living (low waste, recycling, composting, gardening… all the good stuff). I'm a Texas Master Composter and a Recycling Ambassador for my city. If you’re looking for my blog, click here.


In my spare time, you’ll find me obsessing over my dogs, traveling the world, and reading way too much fiction. You can find me on Instagram: @chaibreaking.
