Hi, I’m Zoë Kirsch. Over the past 14 years, I’ve taught writing in a lot of different settings: coaching high school students through their college application essays, working with grad students at the University of Pennsylvania, and teaching investigative techniques at Columbia Journalism School. As a reporter, I’ve covered education and other topics for outlets including ProPublica, The Atlantic, and Slate. My work has been recognized with awards like the EWA Award for Investigative Reporting and the Front Page Award for In-Depth Reporting.
