Fun Facts
One of my favorite things to do is travel, but I have only done so on the North American continent -- which I would love to change soon! I love musical theater and performed in shows for seven years. In another life, I would move to New York and pursue a career on Broadway. I competed in debate and public speaking contests for TEN years (from 7th grade through my senior year in college), most recently finishing eleventh in the nation.
About Me
I am a first-year Master's student and Graduate Teaching Assistant at Texas Christian University, where I also earned my B.S., magna cum laude, in May 2017. I study, teach, and research interpersonal communication, a field in which I hope to earn my Ph.D. upon completing my studies at TCU. I hope to someday gain a tenure-track faculty position and teach and research in the communication field at a university.
Experience
As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at TCU, I serve as laboratory instructor of two sections of COMM 10123 (Communicating Effectively In Your Profession), comprised of a total of 50 college students. In this role, I serve as their primary contact, as the "lecture" component of the course is delivered online. I grade students' exams, assignments, and speeches, meet with them during office hours, and handle any other student issues. I also tutor TCU student-athletes at TCU on a weekly basis.
Approach
I pride myself in being able to meet students where they are in the learning process and strive to avoid a strict format for tutoring sessions. My techniques range from "free write" processes of memorization and information recall--a process I personally find useful and love to teach students--to verbal devices to help confirm and solidify knowledge in subject areas. I am, at my core, a problem solver. If learning is a problem, I want to help them tackle it head-on.

Sociology Tutoring
As a 2017 graduate of TCU's John V. Roach Honors College, much of the lower-division curriculum is based around sociological theories and perspectives. I was required to take 15 hours in Honors-department courses, in which I earned a perfect 4.0 GPA, including in my Sociology of Education course.

I also teach college students on a weekly basis and understand how to best help them approach writing for a targeted audience (in this case, GRE graders). I am very comfortable teaching students the structure and outcomes GRE Writing graders hope to see in the essays.
