I hold a Master of Science in Management from Wake Forest University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Filmmaking from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. My academic background spans both analytical and creative disciplines, which allows me to connect with students across a wide range of subjects and learning styles. In mathematics, my graduate coursework required rigorous quantitative reasoning, data analysis, and applied problem solving, skills that directly inform how I approach teaching pre-algebra through geometry.
My teaching experience has been primarily one-on-one and informal mentorship settings throughout my academic and professional career. I have worked with high school and college-aged students on foundational math concepts, focusing on building genuine understanding rather than rote memorization. My approach centers on identifying where a student's confusion begins, breaking concepts down into smaller steps, and using real-world examples to make abstract ideas concrete and approachable. I am patient by nature and believe that confidence in a subject comes from consistency and encouragement as much as instruction.
In film and screenwriting, I developed an original episodic television concept that was pitched to Amazon Studios and spent two summers interning at PBS North Carolina, where I produced and directed content for broadcast. I have mentored peers through script development in academic settings and am currently preparing to enter LMU's Writing and Producing for Television graduate program. I work with students of all experience levels, from complete beginners exploring storytelling for the first time to more advanced writers looking for structured feedback on their work.
