Fun Facts

I like to unwind by creating abstract art with Sharpie markers and printer paper! I was a high school and college debate coach, so I love argumentation-based learning! I wrote many poetry chapbooks in High School! I have two master's degrees, not just one!

Approach

I enjoy conversational styles of pedagogy where direct verbal communication allows the instructor and student to share knowledge and ideas directly! I am good at offering reading, vocabulary or grammar-based drills for students to work on to increase their abilities! I can teach according to specific course material or locate good textbooks for students to learn from! I can assist students in reading literature more closely or in writing creatively by coaching them on what to focus on.
