I hold a master’s degree in journalism, a discipline that sharpened my ability to think critically, analyze information, and communicate ideas with clarity. My academic training and professional background have given me a strong foundation in research, storytelling, and persuasive writing—skills I now share with learners to help them succeed in both academic and personal projects.

I have worked with students across age groups in one-on-one and small group settings, guiding them in essays, personal statements, and creative work. As a postsecondary specialist, I have supported both high school and university students, particularly first-generation and underrepresented learners, as they prepare for college. This includes coaching them through admissions and scholarship essays, helping them navigate applications, and encouraging them to see the value in their unique perspectives. I also have experience with younger students through enrichment programs, where I focused on building technical writing skills while cultivating confidence in self-expression.

My approach to tutoring is student-centered and flexible. I believe strong writing begins with strong thinking, so I help learners clarify their ideas before shaping them into compelling narratives. Whether drafting a college essay, completing a school assignment, or developing a personal project, I emphasize both structure and creativity. By breaking down the writing process into manageable steps and fostering a supportive environment, I help students learn not just how to improve a single essay, but how to advocate for themselves through their words.

Career Development

Career Development

I have extensive experience guiding students through academic and professional pathways as a Postsecondary Specialist and Program Coordinator. I support learners in setting career goals, preparing application materials, and building confidence in their skills. My background in higher education and mentoring first-generation students allows me to provide both practical strategies and personalized guidance.
College Counseling

College Counseling

As a Morehead-Cain Scholar, my own college application process resulted in admission to more than 15 universities—including Vanderbilt, Cornell, and Yale—and over $1 million in merit scholarships. I now draw on that experience, along with my professional work as a Postsecondary Specialist and TRIO Program Coordinator, to guide students through the admissions process. I have supported first-generation and underrepresented students in preparing applications, essays, and scholarship materials with a focus on showcasing their unique strengths. My approach blends strategic planning with mentorship, helping students move from exploration to successful admission.
Cooking

Cooking

I have professional experience in the food and beverage industry, including hands-on work at Green Top Farms, where I supported meal preparation and service with a focus on nutrition and sustainability. Beyond the kitchen, I have written extensively about food as a journalist and cookbook writer, with work published in James Beard Award–winning outlets such as the Southern Foodways Alliance and Eater. This blend of industry knowledge and storytelling allows me to teach students how to approach cooking as both a life skill and a creative process. I emphasize practical techniques, cultural appreciation, and confidence in the kitchen.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I hold a master’s degree in journalism, where I honed my skills in research, critical thinking, and storytelling. My own admissions essays helped me earn the Morehead-Cain Scholarship, admission to over 15 universities, and more than $1 million in merit aid—an experience that informs how I coach students to write with clarity and impact. Alongside tutoring, I write professionally about food and culture, with work published in James Beard Award–winning outlets such as the Southern Foodways Alliance and Eater. I have guided students at multiple levels in academic essays, personal statements, and creative projects, helping them strengthen both structure and style.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

My master’s degree in journalism required extensive research and long-form writing, equipping me with the skills to guide students through the thesis process. I help learners break down complex projects into manageable stages, from research planning to drafting and revision. With a focus on clarity, argument development, and academic rigor, I support students in producing polished, well-structured theses.
