As a dedicated educator with a Ph.D. in Technical Writing and Rhetoric from Texas Tech University, I bring over five years of experience in both classroom instruction and one-on-one tutoring, with a strong focus on high school writing. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and responsive learning environment where students are encouraged to express their ideas with clarity and confidence. I tailor my instructional approach to the unique needs of each learner, using engaging strategies that foster critical thinking, creativity, and meaningful communication. What continually motivates me is witnessing students grow in their writing skills and self-assurance. Beyond the classroom, I'm an avid reader and continually explore new writing techniques, insights I weave into my sessions to enrich and inspire student learning.
