Certified Tutor
I am a recent summa cum laude graduate of Drake University, having received a Bachelor of Arts in English and Sociology. During my course work, I focused on American literature, global essays, and contemporary fiction while also pursuing social constructivism and conflict theory in my sociology courses. While at Drake I offered writing tutor services to a diverse group of students from across the curriculum, helping work on specific outlines, theses, and essay structuring while also providing grammatical feedback for individuals and groups. I have a passion for helping students both start and finish difficult essays and particularly enjoy working with literary analysis, sociology research and personal/creative essays. I am a firm believer that writing can always be improved and that successful writing comes more from a conversation, not directive editing. In my free time, I enjoy watching bad movies, baseball, and journaling.

Undergraduate Degree: Drake University - Bachelor in Arts, Sociology
Outside the classroom, I love books and movies and am particularly interested in engaging with as many different styles from each medium as possible. I particularly enjoy horror and silent movies along with contemporary TV dramas and comedies, with my favorite directors being Charlie Chaplin, John Carpenter, and David Fincher. Additionally, I make a hobby every year of trying to see the worst movies to come out in theaters alongside the best, and love scouring the films of the past to try and find the worst of the worst. Reading has always been a passion of mine and, in my free time, I still devote energy to trying to enrich my life through literature. My favorite authors include Toni Morrison, Don DeLillo, and Eudora Welty. Additionally, I am an avid sports fan, rooting mostly for Chicago teams and particularly favoring the Chicago White Sox. In my free time, I try committing myself to activities that are both relaxing and mentally rewarding while also sharing in the interests and passions of others.
