As a lifelong writer who currently works in the field of linguistics, it is my goal and honor to help students become authors of their own futures. My core objective is that students not only gain comfort and competency toward their communication goals but also but also that they understand the technologies that are becoming integral to our contemporary communication ecosystem, such as AI. Currently, I am working toward my Master Degree in Writing - Composition & Rhetoric (expected grad. date Winter 2025). I support myself as a Linguistic Data Specialist for QuillBot, which builds on my undergraduate degree in Applied Linguistics, where I focused on TESOL studies. Over the years, I've tutored language learners for multiple organizations and had the pleasure of working closely with Portland's local Swahili refugee community. In my free time, I love travelling with my family and training for the upcoming Walt Disney World Marathon 2026!
