Fun Facts

I'm a mama to two little girls! I'm passionate about hot yoga and other mindfulness practices to keep me grounded as a mom, a teacher, a tutor, and friend. Odd facts: I love spicy food :)

About Me

I taught for 6 years as a high school English Teacher and during that time, worked intensively to help students with their writing skills. I left for maternity leave two years ago and haven't been back because I had another baby during that time as well. I love working with students, particularly on writing, and while I'm not ready to go back to teaching full time, I'd love to start getting back into academia by tutoring one-on-one.

Experience

I graduated from Rutgers Camden with both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in English and taught high school English for six years.

Approach

I believe it's important to meet every student where s/he's at! I will work in whatever way will help the student grow as a writer, whether that's directly working through written pieces the student has been assigned in order to improve quality, or whether that's helping the student move forward from a blank page.

I believe it's important to establish rapport. Mutual respect is critically important in my interactions with students. They achieve more when they are valued as people.
