I received my BA in English, secondary education from Colorado State University. After substitute teaching, I decided to work at a theatre company in Cleveland to expand my writing skills. Among many other things, I wrote and edited curriculum for students grades 2 through 12 to align with our productions. I love thinking of creative, real-world applicable lessons no matter what the topic. Before starting graduate school at Georgetown, I worked as an assistant at a school for students with learning differences. Differentiation to help students where they are and get them to the next level is a foundational practice for me; I use some practices that have personally helped me as someone with dyslexia. I love random history (the history of salt, the reason we say the word OK, and everything in between) , true crime, everything British, and film/theatre. Most of all, I love to teach. I tutor reading, writing, history, geography, and ACT test prep.
