I would love to be your tutor! have taught every grade from Pre-K to college. I started as a substitute teacher for elementary and middle school in the public school system. I then became certified. I am currently certified in English for grades 4-12. After being certified through Relay Graduate School of Education, I became an English Teacher at a competitive charter high school for five years, where I taught AP Language and Composition, World Literature, College Prep, and Creative Writing. After I left, I continued to tutor three students one-on-one in writing and literature. I bring joy and humor to the classroom and am proud that my students feel good about themselves as they learn and take on new challenges.

I also have marketing experience. I was the Creative Content Manager for a Tony Award-winning LORT theatre where I managed their social media and wrote most of our marketing copy, including email and social campaigns, development materials, and other promotional content. I also directed our show trailers and other video content, and produced a podcast for the the theatre. Our Instagram following increased by 44% during my time at the theatre. I am currently a Graduate Assistant while I study for my MFA (Master of Fine Arts) in Film and Television Directing, with a 4.0 GPA. As a Graduate Assistant, I support the professors in teaching and mentoring the undergraduate BFA Studio class as they take their films from development to post-production.

I have my bachelor's in English, where I predominantly studied theatre, literature, and creative writing. I have been writing since I was a child. I have been published in newspapers and a research journal. I have also written and performed poetry. Writing of all types is my strength, though I have a preference for creative writing. While teaching at the high school, I also supported our College and Career department by giving feedback on college essays and meeting with students and families to discuss their essays.
