I am a certified Texas educator with over 12 years of experience teaching middle school, high school, and college students in classroom, small-group, and one-on-one learning environments. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and two master’s degrees—one in Education and one in Digital Media—along with Texas teaching certifications in English Language Arts and Theater. My teaching background includes English, reading, journalism, yearbook, creative writing, photography, broadcast media, digital media production, and theater, including technical theater. I have worked with learners ranging from early adolescents to adult students through public school instruction, college teaching, individualized tutoring, mentoring, and student leadership advising.

As an award-winning journalist, I received Associated Press Story of the Year honors, and I led journalism and theater students to Texas state competitions, guiding them to produce award-winning publications and performances. My expertise blends academic instruction with professional communication skills. I specialize in reading comprehension, essay writing, academic and creative writing, college application essays, journalism and media writing, public speaking, presentation coaching, photo and video editing, digital storytelling, digital marketing support, and public relations fundamentals.

My tutoring approach is supportive, structured, and student-centered. Rather than simply correcting assignments, I teach students how to organize ideas, communicate clearly, and build confidence as independent learners. Sessions are tailored to individual goals, whether students need academic support, creative coaching, or practical media and communication skills. I offer a free consultation to discuss learning needs and ensure a strong fit, and I request at least 4 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. I invite you to learn more about my approach and schedule a lesson when you’re ready to begin.
