I'm a passionate educator devoted to life-long learning with 10 years of teaching experience. I spent 4 years at Middlebury College as a writing tutor, working with students across a variety of content areas to ensure their writing was clear and logical. I then earned my Master's of Education from Johns Hopkins, and I have spent the past 6 years working in Baltimore City Public Schools as a certified ELA (grades 7-12) and special educator.

I teach strategies that can be applied to a variety of tasks. When you work with me, you will learn to use a reading framework that can be employed again and again with a variety of texts to improve comprehension, and you will learn the 4 writing moves that can be expanded from a paragraph to an essay.

I believe that relationships are an essential part of your education. You need to feel supported and encouraged to push yourself when you are frustrated so that you can accomplish challenging tasks. As a mentor, I want to work with you to create learning experiences that align with your passions and interests. I believe that learning is a life-long process, and that starts by making your education matter to you.
