As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in Sports Journalism from Arizona State University, I have over 4 years of experience teaching English and creative writing. My journey in education began with the desire to demonstrate the real-world utility of writing, moving beyond traditional assignments to foster a deeper understanding of composition. I believe in meeting students where they are, cultivating their strengths, and guiding them through those rewarding "aha" moments. My approach emphasizes clarity and conciseness in writing, helping students to articulate their thoughts effectively. Currently, I continue to write professionally, which enriches my tutoring by connecting academic writing principles to real-world applications. I am excited to support students on their writing journeys and help them discover the power of their voices.
