Fun Facts

I recently returned from Rome, where I studied abroad for four months. In my free time you will find me reading or watching Netflix. I am also considering joining a kickball league, but we'll see how that goes as my coordination is not the best.

About Me

I am a senior double major in history and media studies at Catholic University, where I also work in the university's writing center. I have been on the Dean's List every semester, most semesters making the list with distinction, as my grades placed me in the top ten percent of my class.

Experience

As an employee at Catholic University's writing center, I have worked with students ranging from college freshmen to doctoral candidates through all stages of the writing process. I have also worked with high school students on their college essays, in addition to helping my younger siblings and their friends on the middle school level. At Catholic, I also serve as a peer academic coach, where I work with students on developing their study skills and acclimating them to the academic environment.

Approach

As a child, I was told I struggled with reading-comprehension/virginia/washington-dc">reading comprehension. However, I later learned I just did not enjoy the books my teacher had me reading. I soon developed a passion for reading and writing that only continued to grow as used my skills in high school history courses. I believe in having student driven sessions. Not only is it important to take time to listen to the student, but I believe the student should have an active roll in shaping sessions so as to maximize involvement the meetings.
