I have worked as a writing tutor, and have performed editorial duties (both academically and commercially). As for the future, my eyes are set on earning a PhD in Art History with the intent of becoming a professor. I have sat on both sides of the tutoring table, and know how important it is to experience that sense of equality for the student to feel that they have some agency in the resulting relationship. This directly informs my tutoring philosophy. I believe patience and empathy are the keys to excel as tutor. I approach tutoring as a partnership between tutor and student forging an equal rather than hierarchical relationship. We will work together to understand the student's needs so that we can set individual (and realistic) goals and devise strategies to meet them. In my free time, I watch every NBA game I can, visit museums and galleries, and cringe when the Oxford comma is required by sentence structure.

Watching basketball, working in my garden, visiting museums and galleries, and knitting.
