...performing arts, I am often told that I am a fun and engaging teacher! As the child of a lifelong educator, the importance of education was imparted to me from a young age, and my interest in making education accessible and compelling has been reflected in my work with national and international educational nonprofits, including 826DC, India's Sehgal Foundation, and Chautauqua Institution.

...also time management, organization, and maintaining a sense of personal calm. In fact, I love the entire college application process because I think of it not as an opaque, mysterious world of judgment behind closed doors, but as the first opportunity in a student's life to find the perfect fit. The combination of test scores and personal statement should be seen as a contribution to a conversation that leads to a student ending up in...

...but in the end, we must have an ability to change with differing circumstances, including student abilities and course subjects. I feel that teaching goes beyond imparting to students the knowledge solely within the parameters of a particular subject. It is extremely important to note that the umbrella of English as a discipline can cover other academic areas, such as sociology, cultural studies, and communications studies. This will not only help the student's writing, but...
