...English Language; and college admissions essays and preparation. I love conducting sessions as "learning labs" where open and honest discourse is the foundation from which critical knowledge is gleaned.

...out of high school, and then spent 15 years in IT, moving up the ladder from technical support to systems administrator to network engineer. I attended college whenever I could throughout my time in IT, however, and last year I left the IT world to attend the University of Texas full time; I'm currently a junior, pursuing a B.A. in English, and will move on to an M.F.A in creative writing after graduation. My great...
