Fun Facts

I was born in Dallas and while I've been out of Texas many years, my Texan twang hasn't left me! A rather unique skill I learned in middle school was chisenbop. After 40 years, it's a skill I still use! I have no kids but I am a proud aunt. I also love to paint and garden.

About Me

I love arlington">tutoring because it lets me feel like I help someone grasp something they may have struggled with. I like seeing that 'aha' moment where the student grows in knowledge and confidence. arlington">Tutoring brings out the best in me.
I earned a BA degree (1998) from UW-Milwaukee and graduated (2014) from a CUNY culinary school in Brooklyn. I lived in NYC for over 12 years before moving back to Texas in 2019.

Experience

I tutored as an undergrad at UW-Milwaukee. I helped freshmen hone their writing skills. I loved my students and was happy to learn that every single student's grade went up at least 1 letter. My last semester, I won a campuswide prize for Best arlington">Tutor, an award chosen by students. I was so proud.

Approach

I enjoy helping students write more concise, effective essays and papers while maintaining their personal tone and voice.
I feel distracted and frustrated when I don't have a well-organized workspace. Therefore, I believe having things organized is key to learning and improving. Belief in yourself is paramount to success, even if that sounds like a cliché, it's still holds true.
