I have an English undergrad from SLCC, and I'm currently working on my Bachelor's at the U. I recently received my TESOL/TEFL certification, which allows me to teach English as a Second Language. I'm a well-read, lifelong fan of the English language, especially rhetoric; I'm an avid reader of fantasy and fiction novels, and a passionate creative writer.
Before my academic career, I served a two-year proselytizing mission in New York City, where I mainly spoke Spanish. During that time, I taught English as a Second Language and studied aspects of Spanish and English to improve my skills in both languages.
More recently, I worked as a youth mentor for at-risk, neurodivergent teenagers from ages 12+ in a mental health facility. I've also held two different positions as a life skills coach for adults with disabilities and processed intakes at a homeless shelter.
These experiences, combined with my education, have helped me develop a teaching style that is authoritative and responsive to my clients' needs. I believe that meeting my client where they are is the most effective way to take them where they want to go.
