Fun Facts
I grew up in Colorado at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, and I hope to move back someday. I have climbed 7 "14'er" mountains and I love the great outdoors and all that it has to offer. I also enjoy dancing, choreography, reading, painting, and drawing! I also have made friends with quite a few Disney characters while working at Walt Disney World, and have many bizarre stories to share from my time there. Ask me about "that one time with Mickey Mouse..."
About Me
I graduated summa cum laude from Texas Christian University in 2016, with a cumulative GPA of 3.99. While in school, I was on the Dean's List for eight consecutive semesters, and was honored as a TCU scholar for all four years I was in school. I currently reside in Orlando, FL working in digital marketing, social media management, and I also work with the Walt Disney Company in their entertainment division. In a few months, I will be relocating to pursue my MFA in Theatre History and Dramaturgy.
Experience
I have been professionally denver">tutoring with various companies across the country for over 6 years now, including FrogTutors for the past 4. (I am a certified NCAA denver">tutor from when I worked with TCU Athletics denver">Tutoring!) I really enjoy working with students close to my own age, learning how they best digest information and creating new plans on how to apply information to their various courses and subjects. This is work I genuinely enjoy doing and I can't wait to meet any new students that need help!
Approach
School has always been something that I loved. Growing up, it baffled me that my peers were constantly bemoaning the fact that they had to go to school and learn every day. Throughout high school and college I became a study resource to my fellow students, which was a position that I still am thankful was thrust upon me. Through denver">tutoring at FrogTutors, I hope to bring a genuine love and understanding of learning to every subject I have the opportunity to denver">tutor in.

Communication Tutoring
As both a student and now a professional, I have learned that good communication is key to success, and while the trait can be taught in schools, I have found that when I tutor communications classes the concepts become much easier to understand in a one on one setting rather than a classroom setting. I have worked with several clients in communications courses, both in high school and in college, all to great effect.
Graduate Level Writing Tutoring
A large portion of my schoolwork in the past has been centered on learning how to be a good writer. I have written countless essays, research papers, scripts, and a well researched thesis. In my current job, one of my major responsibilities is a web copywriter, ghost blog writer, and content creator. I am unashamed that this is one of my strongest skills and I love sharing this skill with other people. I recently took a client from a GPA failing because of writing skills from a 2.0 to a 3.2 in the course of 8 months.

My major in college centered mainly around classical history as it relates to modern western storytelling today. I have a 7 score in IB HL History, and have been working with a student in AP US History for the past 3 years.
Literature Tutoring
While at TCU my area of study was "theatre studies", with goals to be a dramaturg or literary manager of a company. As such, I have had many opportunities to study literature both in and outside of class.

Some Literature classes I took while in high school and college were: Intro To Drama (A) Script Analysis and Literary Traditions (A) Study Abroad Literary Theatre Traditions (A) Transnational Literature (A) Theatre History (A) among many others.
Reading Comprehension Tutoring
A large part of what I want to do later in life is related to reading comprehension, which is something that has always come naturally to me. As a theatre major, it was my responsibility to take the written work and put it in front of an audience. I also work in marketing and social media management, and as such I have experience of understanding messaging and audience relationships. I have taught phonics for over a decade, and have many success stories from clients on reading comprehension.
Study Skills Tutoring
In order to maintain the grades that I have, I have had to learn how to hone and tailor my study skills to individual subjects and classes. In my past tutoring experience, I have had the opportunity to help students learn what study skills work best for them, and how to best apply them for success.

History Tutoring
Immediately following college, I plan to get a degree in Theatre History, and as part of that ongoing path I have had to take a fair amount of history classes, that cover both historical comprehension and the humanization of historical people and events.
Homework Coach Tutoring
Good grades stem from good study habits, and good homework habits breed a good student. This is something I have had to learn firsthand throughout high school and college, and my ability to manage my homework load has had a large impact upon my ability to gain the grades I have, and how to manage my time as a young professional. This is an absolutely essential skill for students to have for success, and I love working with students learning how to build these good habits for success later in life.
Religion Tutoring
The basic tenants of religion often intersect upon one another throughout history, and throughout my time as a theatre major at TCU, I have had the opportunity to see how religion intersects with the human experience. I grew up in an educational religious environment, where learning about the doctrine itself was absolutely essential to belief. I believe that religion is an important subject to study from an educational, objective standpoint in order to become a more well-rounded society.
