I am currently a senior at the University of Iowa, studying English with an emphasis on creative writing. I grew up at the library with my nose in a book, and discovered my passion for writing at an early age. I'm patient and believe that a huge part of teaching also consists of me learning from my students. Both of my parents are teachers, as well as 3 out of 4 of my grandparents, so I've been around a positive learning environment my entire life.
