I have ten years of experience as a high school teacher in English, literature, composition, and SAT review. I enjoy helping students do their best. I have an undergraduate degree in English, a master's in English education, and am pursuing a graduate degree in English literature. My current graduate studies have given me a chance to study American literature in more depth. My thesis studies are focusing on African - American literature. In my free time I enjoy collage, painting, and mixed media art.
