Tutor And Social Media Educator

Summary

Historian and Political Scientist with research, writing, teaching, and social media education experience. After completing a Masters level thesis I continued building skills, despite disability, through tutoring and building an educational social media platform. As historians we must tell a story, make original arguments, and prove significance. I bring true history to students through historical methodology and expertise, making a “boring” subject relevant every day. I also utilize innovative and engaging strategies tailored to student’s learning styles.
