About

With over a decade of teaching experience, my core competencies in editing, instructional design, and academic writing have been honed through my position as a college English instructor and writing center tutor. My mission is to empower students by enhancing their appreciation for language and its literary art forms. I am committed to integrating diverse perspectives into the classroom, fostering a culture that reflects the dynamic nature of English literature. My focus has been on teaching a range of courses from College Writing to British Romanticism and American Literature. This role has allowed me to leverage my expertise in editing and creative writing to develop engaging curricula that inspire and challenge our students. By incorporating both traditional and contemporary literary works, I have enriched the academic experience and cultivated a deeper understanding of the written word.
