...lab reports, to business memos. As a Fellow, I was assigned to a particular history class where I met with each student to go over any writing assignment before it was due.

I love music of all kinds, the writing of George Saunders and John Steinbeck, basketball, and in the future I hope to start a career...

...I never thought were possible. Starting at Hunter's Creek Middle School was daunting at first but I settled in quickly. In my first full year teaching, I was assigned to the Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC) team. Working with a non-for-profit called the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB), we worked to increase literacy practice within Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) classrooms. I was also Teacher Leadership Team (TLT) during my first year being recognized as a...

...focus. Now more than ever young people need practice in slowing down and thinking critically about written texts. This discipline, essential both to democratic discourse and the negotiation of private choices in one's life, can be fostered in a language arts classroom and in private tutoring. I want to help students comprehend the musical and connotative range of literary language, and to articulate their own interpretations and arguments in eloquent, well-considered prose. I am able...

...in a cappella rehearsals, and helping friends and classmates with their academic issues. I am a firm believer that an English tutor is not there to tell their student how to understand the text or make essay edits for them, but to provide them with the tools and background information necessary for them to figure out their own interpretations and make their own edits. While the reading and writing of books is my passion, I...
