Fun Facts

I love cats, but I don't have any.

About Me

Growing up, I also wanted to be a writer, and I wanted to travel the world. I was lucky enough to have family in Europe, so I was able to take a little educational detour before figuring out my major course of study. I travelled in Europe (mostly Spain and France) for two years and tutored French children from ages 5 to 12 in ESL. When I finally got serious about learning, I decided to pursue media studies and journalism. I am a graduate of austin-state-university">Stephen F. Austin State University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Radio and Television with a concentration on news production. I impressed the head of the Journalism Department so much that I received an assistantship there after graduation. I worked as a News Writing Lab Assistant mostly and substitute taught: Journalism I and II, PR, Advertising, and Copy Editing. I nearly finished my degree, but once again, I had a detour in my education. I decided to just start working, and luckily, I got an opportunity to copywrite for an educational company. I got a taste for working independently and haven't looked back! I've been working remotely since 2009. For the last decade, I've worked for various education companies scoring the writing portion of TOEFL, SAT, ACT STAAR, and other state standardized exams. I love the work and the variety.

Experience

I have been a professional tutor since 2021. I've taught ESL, English, literature, journalism, and writing lessons.

Approach

I'm a word enthusiast, and I share my excitement for writing with my students by making learning fun and positive.
