I graduated from Clark Atlanta University with a journalism degree and have since written for various local and national magazines. Over a short period of time, I worked my way up to an editor and began teaching at writing workshops. Writing has always been a major part of my life and I want to help students to become better writers as I believe it can open many doors.

...work as a college essay editor for an educational consultant based in Philadelphia. I am preparing applications to dual-degree graduate programs in city planning and law. I consider “co-learning” to be the most appropriate educational context, rather than a "master-apprentice" situation in which a student passively absorbs information.

...Achievement program. I believe that learning should be fun. I know that each student is different and I adapt my tutoring style to the student's style of learning. I am a visual learner and find that drawing out a problem really helps students grasp a problem or concept. In the long run, I want to work in education reform. In my free time, I like to run, try new recipes (or restaurants), travel to places...
