I am a graduate from the University of South Carolina (BA), University of San Francisco (MA), and University of South Florida (graduate certificate). I have been passionate about teaching since my Peace Corp days and love working with students to achieve their education and life goals. I like to help students express themselves in their Writing and help them to improve their Critical Reading skills. Public speaking is also a passion since it can be used in many diverse situations and is extremely important in daily life. I have worked with many students on all levels of education and aid them in preparing for standardized tests. In my free time, I like to be in nature, read a good book, listen to music, and be active.
