About
Mari got her BA and MA in English literature from the University of British Columbia with her research and study focused on wrangling with Renaissance epics. As such, curating words and stories is at the center of her craft. Working with students to tackle the English language, whether in fiction or non-fiction, has served as much of her pre- and post- graduation mission and purpose. At Options Solutions, she meets with students at all stages of the supplementary writing process to help them curate their own stories, providing an individualized toolset and coaching to get students where they need and want to go.
When not trying to decipher Old English or tackle bizarre references to the supernatural in Renaissance poetry, she enjoys tactile hobbies like crocheting, painting, and baking an inordinate number of sweets.
