I have worked with a variety of students at different learning levels to help them become more confident in their reading and writing skills for over a year as a writing tutor. I meet students where they're at and find different ways to help them relate their lives to their reading and writing. This may include physical projects, reading aloud, and more. I've also found a conversational approach is better than being a figure of authority, and I strive to be a patient and friendly mentor to all.

My tennis journey began in high school and has never ended. My college courses were intense and became my focus away from sports.
