As for a bit more about me, I’m often immersed in storytelling in one form or another. I’m a lifelong reader with a particular love for science fiction. I'm drawn to the genre’s ability to explore broad human questions through imaginative and sometimes futuristic worlds. From anything by Madelinne Miller or Kristin Hannah, to classics by Dickens, I find inspiration in stories with societal overtones that coincide with my academic work. Writing is another major part of my life. I often pursue freelance journalism, where I focus on crafting compelling narratives about real-world issues. It’s an outlet that combines my passion for research with accessible thought-sharing. Not to mention, staying up to date with current events ; local and global. Less serious forms of literary engagement for me are writing creatively or getting lost in the comic world. Particularly DC, as an extraordinarily intricate and thrilling web of storylines. Music is a quieter interest of mine, but growing up playing the piano has given me a space to find expression off of a page. Trying new recipes and jogging along the river are equally as enjoyable activities in my life despite less relevance to the humanities. Many of my interests feed into the way I approach tutoring ; with creativity used to tailor lessons to individual students' learning styles, enthusiasm to convey that reading and writing can indeed be fun instead of a dredging or difficult task, and absolute patience.
