Experience
--Fulbright scholar --writing tutor with hundreds of hours of experience --teacher of writing --MA in English and writing I am a very experienced writing tutor who can help you with any kind of writing project. When I worked at Georgetown University Writing Center as a Graduate tutor, I met with students from all academic disciplines, from biology to computer science to history to economics. I helped them with all parts of the writing process, from brainstorming to editing, from big ideas to grammatical errors. I completed over 360 30-minute or 60-minute sessions. Most of my students wrote in English as a second language. I have taken multiple courses in how to teach writing, from "Advanced Teaching Writing" at Millsaps College to the graduate seminar "Approaches to Teaching Writing" at Georgetown University. I am familiar with the latest and most research-driven teaching methods and theories. In my university career, I've won multiple awards for writing, such as the Clark Essay Medal for the most outstanding essay written by an English major at Millsaps College in 2011.

Hobbies
My heart is in teaching. I currently teach first-year writing at Washtenaw Community College. I love to explain concepts and ask the right questions so that my students understand concepts and how to apply them to do what they want with words. In my spare time, I spend time with friends, read books and articles about politics and culture, and ride my bike around Ann Arbor. I love to travel, and I have travelled extensively in Europe and the US.
