I am an experienced English educator and Department Chair who has worked in education for over a decade. I have taught in Psychology and English at public high schools, community colleges, and private universities. I specialize primarily in composition instruction, as I sincerely enjoy helping students to learn how to find their voices and confidence as writers.
I adapt my writing instruction to each student’s needs, meeting them where they are at and helping to push their skills one step further each time. Students have praised my guidance as key in helping them to understand how to feel more comfortable with the writing process. My feedback is always supportive and constructive, as I know how intimidating writing can be. I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a “bad writer.” There are only writers who haven’t refined their voices yet.
I have my B.A. in Psychology from the University of Portland and my M.A. in Social Ecology from the University of California, Irvine. In 2019, I received my high school teaching credentials, gaining certification in English Language Arts. I currently hold a Postgraduate Professional Teaching license in the state of Virginia.
