About
Within my English major at Hillsdale College, I studied literature across all genres and periods and wrote comprehensive analyses on works from Beowulf to The Great Gatsby. My minors are in Classical Education and Classical Studies, which consist of the arts of teaching and the learning from the model of the ancients. After graduating in 2017 I taught 1st Grade at a public charter school and then tutored K-2 reading at a conventional public school in 2018. I have been tutoring students (elementary to high school) since I was in high school. I continued through college and in my work after graduating.
Throughout my life I have attended private Christian schools and taken a plethora of religious and theological courses in both general World Religions and specific Christian studies. My understanding of religion in general is fortified by my study of the classical, ancient civilizations in my undergraduate degree.
My passion for learning and teaching began with reading great books as a child and having excellent teachers throughout grade school, high school, and college. Passing on the wonder of the word is my delight.
