I have always been passionate about writing, good communication, and helping people learn. I graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a degree in English and a minor in Linguistics. I spent my college years volunteering for a youth organization where I counseled and mentored recent high school graduates, providing on-the-job communications training in a fast-paced promotions headquarters. I have experience giving one-on-one coaching and feedback, have managed groups of up to 18 students at a time, and have taught training sessions for large groups in customer service, communications and work professionalism. English was my best and favorite subject in high school, but it wasn't until my last two years of college that I really began to fall crazy in love with the language arts. Words of dead authors came alive to me as they helped me discover the world around me in the beauty and tragedy of the human experience. I teach many genres of writing - Essay Writing, Research, and Literary Analysis. I can help students edit and proofread, and also develop ideas and improve the overall quality of a piece of writing, while helping students improve their ability to use language effectively. In my free time I enjoy writing, singing, playing guitar, compulsively cleaning and organizing things, arts and crafts, camping, yoga, gardening, wishing I was in a play, and daydreaming about foreign travels. I also take pictures and manage my own photography business.
