I am an American author, scholar, public speaker, and occasional political activist. I received a BA from the University of Virginia and an MA from Simmons College and studied Spanish at the Universidad de Valencia.

I have also presented my work at international and domestic conferences including the University of Virginia’s Improvisation and Text Conference, American Studies Association Annual Meeting, Popular Culture Association, and American Culture Association Meeting, New England American Studies Association event, Ottawa’s Carleton University “Interface Conference, among others. Too, I have also taught to K-12 during my graduate schooling at Ann's Christian Learning Center and at hospitals for Education, Inc. I enjoy dancing, cooking, journaling, karaoke, prayer, bible study, music videos. movies, and of course, shopping.
Academia begins with a question...a pause...then a dream and hope. It is with enthusiasm also my past and current academic knowledgeability that makes me an ideal candidate for tutoring. I plan to prepare students to think critically so they can score high on standardized tests while my presence in the classroom might also increase students’ learned knowledge about diversity, a prerequisite for an innovative academic experience. My experiential learning concept and practicality, advising, and publishing can only prepare me for an exceptional experience with students.
Please contact me with further questions, tutoring lessons, and scheduling. Thanks!
