I received my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from Berry College with a minor in French, and I finished my master's degree in Applied Linguistics from Georgia State University in 2016. I have spent time studying language and teaching English in Spain and Austria, and I have taught and tutored a variety of students from children to adults. While I love teaching a range of subjects including English, Spanish, and Writing, I am most passionate about ESL. With English continuing to grow as a global language, it is incredibly rewarding helping students improve their English abilities in order to pursue more opportunities. My favorite part of teaching is watching students gain more confidence in themselves as they progress. I strongly believe in the power of education, which can open our minds to the world around us and better not only our personal lives but also society as a whole. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, spending time with family and friends, and playing with my dog.

My primary interest is learning about language and culture, however I also enjoy history, reading fiction, running, and animals.
