About Me

As a former AmeriCorps volunteer, placed in the Metro DC ReadingCorps program, I work at a high needs elementary school in Southeast DC, and as such have really developed hands-on and behavioral management skills with children. Furthermore, I focused on early literacy skills and teaching techniques that I believe make me a good tutor. My literacy tutor training combined with both my undergraduate degree in English and graduate degree in Gender Policy, makes me a good tutor because I have both the teaching experience and the academic knowledge to help those who need it. Furthermore, both my programs of study were heavily focused on analytical reading and writing, and this has continued to be my greatest skill, and what I continue to develop at higher and higher levels. My work at the Financial Times, and DBC UK has imbued me with the ability to work hard, learn on the job, respond well to criticism and advice, and manage groups. Working on many editorial boards within a University setting has also given me the skills to manage both a team and my time, as well as being the liaison for the creation and production of said magazines that required time and dedication. My person-to-person skills were augmented through my time in the service industry, as well as being on the boards for many educational journals that require local outreach and bureaucratic procedure.
