Fun Facts

I love crossword puzzles. In my free time I love documenting my recipes (targeted towards students who need food ready quickly and on a budget) on my food blog. I think the most interesting or "fun" fact about myself in terms of education is that I was not the 'typical' student in High School. I once had a teacher tell me that I would not make it through college and now, I am honors student!

About Me

University of Arizona Honors College, majoring in Creative Writing and minoring in English. I am approaching my senior year with a cumulative GPA of 3.875. I plan on continuing on with my education in pursuit of a Master's degree and then eventually my PHD. My ultimate goal is to become an English professor.

Although I have never been employed by a tucson">tutoring company, I have tutored friends and neighbors. I have mainly helped them focus on essay-related work in order to help them advance their overall writing skills. I've found that my peer critique classes have helped me advance my own writing while also aiding me in helping others to do the same.

Relating subject material to things that specific student can relate to helps to not only make it more interesting for them, but aids in helping them remember that material as well. I also believe that it is extremely important to work with each student's personal learning style (visual, listening, etc). Most importantly, knowing what your student's expectations of themselves are (or their guardians, if applicable) and the goals they wish/need to reach is extremely important to my approach as well.
