Fun Facts

I love animals, and during our tutoring sessions, you may see the occasional glimpse of my dog Olive who loves to sleep next to me while I work, or the chirp of one of my three parakeets Marshmallow, Rock, and Ash.

About Me

I am a Ph.D. student studying English Literature at Penn State, where I teach literature and writing courses to undergraduate students and am writing my dissertation on how we can use literature to better understand disordered eating.

Experience

I have worked as a writing, English, History, and test prep tutor for nearly 10 years. I also teach college level composition, writing, and English courses as well as a course on crafting resumes, cover letter, and personal statements for jobs, internships, and graduate programs.

Approach

As a teacher and tutor, I aim to listen to my student's goals and concerns and plan my curriculum to meet them where they are. I find that most students want to succeed and I believe it is my pedagogical responsibility to provide them with the tools and information to reach their goals.
