I am trained to teach writing at the college level. I have experience working one-on-one with students, leading
group discussions, as well as lecturing on topics related to course material, such as conducting research for
scholarly sources, the personal essay and analytical writing. Over the course of two years I have taken two
year-long seminars on teaching pedagogy which addresses issues such as technology and teaching, writing for
second-language learners, and diversity in the classroom.
