I am a graduate of Syracuse University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and English, and am currently working on getting my teaching degree. I am most passionate about English literature and writing. It is my belief that words are the most important and powerful part of communication, and should always be used properly. I also believe that laughing makes the world go round, and that students learn the best when they are having fun. In my experience, students respond well to demonstration teaching. Therefore, I do my best to explain assignments thoroughly and to show students what is expected of them through examples. During my free time I like to read, go on hikes, and relax with a sketch book and some good music.
