Between ACT prep and college application advising, I’ve taught over 400 sessions to over 75 students. I've supported students through every part of the college application process from improving their test scores, to brainstorming, drafting, and editing their essays. I've provided line-level edits, structural notes, and content-based feedback.
Working as an ACT English tutor and professional writer ensures that my grammar skills don't get rusty. Since I've been consistently working with high school students since I graduated from high school, I remain connected to their experiences, the expectations placed on them, and how to communicate effectively and compassionately.
I gained a deep sensitivity to how students from different backgrounds and in different places on the globe are impacted by their cultural, familial, and self-imposed pressures.
I had the opportunity to mentor 16-18 year-old students in Cape Town, South Africa. I, along with my supervisor, developed curriculum about peace-building and advocacy. We talked about the academic system in South Africa and the pressures these students face to succeed.
I also had the opportunity to deliver a presentation to grade-11 students in India about the Statement of Purpose that will be required for their domestic university applications. The 30 girls that I shared the afternoon with impressed me with their eagerness to get to work. I'm eagerly looking forward to hearing about their admissions results.
Being able to attend a Hendrix College and pursue degrees in Religious Studies and Communications, receive scholarships, and embark on the Watson Fellowship have filled me with a profound sense of gratitude. When I think of how I was able to accomplish those feats, it always goes back to writing. Being able to produce quality writing is an invaluable skill that has opened doors that were once unimaginable. That's something worth sharing.
I possess the knowledge; I have honed the skills; I understand the gravity.
