Fun Facts

I enjoy writing, drawing, and painting in my free time! My current muses are my two adorable Boston Terriers, Walker and Katie.

About Me

I graduated magna cum laude from Rice University with a BA in English and Visual Arts. I have always had a passion for teaching students how to express themselves with confidence and clarity through writing.

Experience

For two years, I volunteered with Momentum Education as an essay editor and English tutor for underprivileged high school students in Houston, Texas. My experiences included editing services for college application essays as well as one-on-one tutoring for students in English classes, including AP Literature. During my time there, I loved helping students craft personal statements that truly represented their interests and made them stand out.

Approach

I have always believed that good writing is a reflection of good thinking. In my tutoring and editing approach, I go beyond basic proofreading and ask young writers questions to encourage them to critically think over what it is they want to express and why. Teaching students how to write effectively provides them with a solid foundation for clear, persuasive communication that they can apply in all majors and careers.
