Summary

I'm passionate about education and serving my community. I focus on meeting students where they are at in their education.

As an adjunct English instructor, I learn from my students each semester and work hard to foster critical-thinking skills and confidence in writing skills.

As a literacy tutor, I encourage students to do their best and practice to become even better readers.

I am proud to be flexible when it comes to student needs, to work independently, and to quickly acquire new knowledge to support students in all environments.

These skills are easily transferred to professional settings where adaptability, quick learning, organization, and creativity are needed.
