Hi, thank you for reading my profile! I am a recent graduate of Virginia Tech and am currently searching for tutoring positions that fit my qualifications. I have known I wanted to go into education since I was in middle school, but I could never decide the subject. After taking Latin in high school, I decided to pursue Classics as a major during my undergraduate career. As a Classics graduate, I am highly confident in my abilities to translate Latin and Ancient Greek.

I have written numerous papers at the college level. At the moment, I am working on a research paper concerning the characterization of Mary Magdalene in the early Chu
