About Me

I am an attorney in the Orlando area and twice-graduate of the University of Florida. I obtained my BA in English with a concentration in critical writing and film, and continued on to law school to obtain my JD. Before college I completed the rigorous International Baccalaureate program with a higher level concentration in Psychology and completed my Extended Essay in English. My fiancee says I'm the master of unfinished projects, and its partly true; I love learning new skills so I'm always getting into something. However, I love the sense of accomplishment found only in a job well done. I enjoy restoring old things (bikes, cars, fans, you name it!), I love to cook, I'm a total computer geek, and I'm an avid jazz drummer. Of course, I enjoy teaching, too, and have tutored in a variety of subjects before. I like sharing my experience and helping others become better in those areas in which I am skilled, including speaking, writing, editing, analysis, argumentation, and critical thinking. As an English major I learned to apply those skills to literary analysis, and as an attorney I use those skills every day to be persuasive. This may sound strange to an aspiring law student, but most people's most challenging part of the LSAT - logic games - was my favorite. I actually find them to be fun! Whether you need help with the LSAT, a confusing prompt, crafting a convincing college essay, polishing up that big project, sharpening your writing chops, or getting through that speech, I can help.

Q&A with Jess

I always start a teaching relationship with an assessment of a student's learning style, and I recommend that they take a short quiz to see what works best for them. Most people are at least partly visual learners, so I try to incorporate written instructions, symbols, diagrams, and pictures into a lecture.
