I am a student at Columbia University studying History & American Studies! While in high school, I completed the International Baccalaureate program and took various Advanced Placement courses. At Columbia I have worked with various public defense organizations as an advocate, investigator, and research assistant. I also volunteer as a tutor on campus, in the New York community, and even on Rikers Island. I am passionate about helping students from all backgrounds develop their writing, reading,...More

I am not studying or reading for personal enjoyment, I am often either writing or sharing rich conversation. Having specialized in philosophy of art, I have a passion for music and visual art and am enlivened by the artistic culture of Oklahoma City.

I am not working on research, I enjoy playing soccer, art, piano, adventure movies, running races, hanging out with my family and friends, and volunteer work in my community.

I am an award-winning writer with 14 professionally-published stories, and I’m currently working on my third novel. I love to read epic fantasy novels like Lord of the Rings, but I also love any writing that’s well-crafted or makes you think, like Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 or Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird.

I am also certified to prepare students to take the College Board's AP French Language and Culture exam. My AP students have consistently earned 4s and 5s on this rigorous test. My favorite thing about teaching French is to meet a student with no knowledge of French and watch her/him go on to study in France, become fluent in the language and then take a degree in it. I love to inspire.

My German studies began in the seventh grade and have followed me through all of my academic and personal endeavor...More

I am enthusiastic about education and I am a nerd for history, politics, and current events. In high school, surprisingly, my favorite subject was math, and I always thought I was going to be a math teacher. College, however, changed my mind when I fell in love with a Colonial History course and it changed my outlook on my future in education. I want to teach my students to be good citizens and to be successful in everything they do in life.

I'm happy to pay it forward and help others succeed too.

I am the only person who has earned a doctoral degree in the Bassoon. When I began teaching in schools, my first job was teaching Elementary Music and Gifted and Talented classes. I then taught fifth grade Social Studies and moved on to high school Biology and middle school Science. I have also been a professor of music at Oklahoma City University for over ten years. I'm certified to teach Math, Science, and Music, but I also have a passion for History, World Cultures, Study Skills, and Writing....More

I am a member of a book club, visit all types of museums, attend plays, and concerts. Another interest, antique shopping, whereas, I learn more about the item's origins and history. When spring arrives, I love to garden. Spring represents rebirth after a long winter and I love to dig in the dirt and plants flowers to watch them flourish just like watching students flourish with their lessons and education.
