About
I believe in the power of learning from someone who loves what they teach and, in the subject of English, I fit that bill. I graduated high school with an International Baccalaureate Diploma and currently attend an academically rigorous liberal arts college in California, so I know what it means to do well in--and love--school. I received the highest possible scores on my AP English Literature and Composition and IB Higher Level English Language and Literature exams. I have composed research projects and subsequent research essays in the subjects of metaphor, mental illness portrayal in literature, setting, and detective fiction. I composed a successful first-year writing portfolio at my college and was recently asked to take on a position as a college Writing Advisor. In short, I live for all things English and would be thrilled to help you navigate my favorite subject. I hope to hear from you soon!

I've worked with students from a variety of educational backgrounds, including those in special needs, standard, higher level/honors, AP/IB, and college classes.

Recently, I had the opportunity to play an editorial role in my college's archives exhibit entitled "A Gallery of Famous Fictional Sleuths" surrounding detective fiction and its protagonists.
