Fun Facts
Married with three fur children: a 6 month old kitten who terrorizes her older brother (and is definitely a daddy's girl) and a 1 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves to run to mom's side after every bathroom break (mom is his favorite parent). I have never been outside of the continental US, but plan to soon with my wife on a late honeymoon to Scotland. I like to write in my off time: short-fiction, fantasy, poetry, and a few novel ideas. I grew up 30 minutes from Disneyland.
About Me
I work full time. I studied at Portland State University: English major with a writing minor and have a 3.53 cumulative GPA. I was president of the Writers Club for two years at my junior college and Writer Laureate during one of those years. My goal is to teach English composition at the college level after I graduate. I currently work for Amazon.
Experience
While at the junior college I was a Peer Mentor working in the Writing Center on campus tutoring English and helping students with their academic papers as well as resumes and scholarship essays; also, as a Peer Mentor, I assisted in the classroom helping students and instructors with various projects and assignments. I was also involved with the student-run school paper as news editor, associate copy editor, web editor, and writer. I continue tutoring friends in both mathematics and English.
Approach
Personable. Every student is different with a different way of looking at things, and I help them to focus their attention on solving problems (math) or articulating their ideas (writing) in a manner that both achieves the goal of the assignment as well as fosters understanding within the student. My goal in tutoring is to have them achieve a level of proficiency and confidence in their own work.
