I'll work hard to ensure you are learning the knowledge and skills to...

...student. Another one of my passions is writing. As a student, essays can be challenging and sometimes overwhelming. I love calming students and their fears about essays, guiding them through the writing process by pulling information out of them that was already there to begin with.
