Fun Facts

Before higher education, I wanted to become a chef. Obviously that didn't happen since I am a currently PhD student but my passion for French history and literature kept my love for cooking and baking is still quite alive. My favorite cuisines are French, Spanish, and Lebanese. I have three cats and they are named after French philosophers. When I am not conducting research for my dissertation or teaching, I am usually playing video games.

About Me

I am a second year PhD candidate of Modern European History at memphis">University of Memphis. Before pursuing my PhD, I received a MA in History in August 2015 and a MA in French Literature in December 2015. I've been teaching undergraduate history and French courses since 2015. My ultimate goal is to become a French history professor.

Experience

As a graduate assistant at the memphis">University of Memphis, I have tutored undergraduates in the following subjects: World Civ to 1500, World Civ since 1500, American History to 1877, American History since 1877. I have also taught college-level French and history courses at Christian Brothers University, memphis">University of Memphis, and Southwest Tennessee Community College. When I am not teaching, I tutor high school students in French, history, and writing.

Approach

As a child, I found writing to be difficult. It was not until high school where I was fortunate to have a teacher who helped me realize my potential as a writer. Now that I am a PhD candidate and college instructor, I make sure to apply the positive attitude I inherited from my advisers to all of my lessons. I teach my students not only history and French but also the skills that will help them be successful inside and outside of the classroom.
