"I hold a Master of Science in Health Communication and a Bachelor's degree in English with a minor in Fine Arts. During my undergraduate studies, I completed all coursework and practicum requirements for secondary education, which gave me the chance to work directly with middle and high school students. I spent time in the classroom creating lesson plans, leading discussions, and offering one-on-one support to students who needed extra help.

I often incorporate visual aids, workflows, or diagrams to make abstract concepts easier to understand, especially when tackling writing structure or analyzing literature.
