I hold a PhD in Education , a Master’s in Counseling , and a Bachelor’s in English. I am a certified educator in the state of Texas with over a decade of experience teaching writing, language arts, and student development at the secondary and college levels. My background includes working as a high school English teacher, full-time faculty and department coordinator in higher education, and most recently, a dean and director of academic affairs. Across these roles, I have taught developmental and academic writing, supported dual-credit students, created curriculum aligned with education legislation, and implemented initiatives to enhance student success.
My approach to writing tutoring is individualized, student-centered, and grounded in both pedagogy and lived experience. I’ve worked with learners of all ages—from high school students navigating AP and honors courses to adult learners returning to college—and I bring empathy, structure, and clarity to the process. Whether I’m helping a student build stronger thesis statements, improve grammar and syntax, or revise a personal statement, I aim to empower them with the tools to express themselves with confidence and purpose. I specialize in developmental writing, college essay coaching, and supporting multilingual learners. My teaching philosophy is rooted in equity, engagement, and helping students see themselves as capable and compelling writers.
