Fun Facts
I read. Every day. Probably too much. I recently finished Live from Baghdad, Robert Wiener’s gripping tale of imminent war, petulant bureaucrats, unreliable equipment and too many cigarettes. I also read articles and op-eds on subjects such as the role of bail in the criminal justice system, the state of sex education in our schools and the impact of the West’s involvement in the Middle East. When I'm not reading, I'm cooking for Grandpa, running up mountains or drawing funny doodles.
About Me
Writing landed me a trip to Africa, entrance to graduate school, an internship with the World Series of Poker and jobs at the Harlem Globetrotters and a prominent Arizona law firm. I'm going back to school next spring to pursue my Master of Education in Secondary Education at Arizona State University. In the meantime, I read all that I can about teaching techniques and wonky education policy. I can't wait to get back in the classroom and teach high schoolers how to write.
Experience
I currently work as a freelance writer and editor. I help students craft compelling personal statements for graduate school admissions. I edit esoteric white papers for law firms and English essays for college students. I write stand-out resumes, cover letters and LinkedIn profile summaries. I take the time to explain my edits. After working with me, my clients understand the difference between passive voice and action verbs, and words such as it's and its, who and whom and that and which.
Approach
I learn best from example. I, however, understand that everyone learns differently. That's why as a tutor, I work one-on-one with students to better understand their learning styles and study habits. Instead of simply fixing grammatical errors, I help students understand them, so they can avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Teach a man to fish, right?
