As a graduate from UC Irvines Literary Journalism program, I have always been enthusiastic about sharing the most effective ways to write, read and communicate to the best of ones ability. Enjoying and succeeding in a literature class does not require having the right answers. Instead, I feel that its about having the tools needed to interpret the meaning behind novels, short stories, poetry, and other types of works. Its also about using those tools to draw ones own conclusions. In addition to having the right tools, I also believe that confidence is important to build in the classroom as well. During my junior and senior year of high school, I took International Baccalaureate classes in English. I sometimes struggled with writing essays and speaking up during class discussions. It was only until I sought a bit of extra help after school from my teachers and even classmates that I began to improve, which is why I see the value in spending personal time with students to help them reach their individual goals. I continued to challenge myself in English and literature-related classes in college. I took courses in writing, poetry, plays, and even journalism and film. I graduated from UC Irvine in 2014 having made the Deans Honor List. In addition to my passion for reading and writing, I also enjoy playing music, doing arts and crafts projects, and going to yoga.
