"I bring over two decades of professional communications and coaching expertise to my tutoring work. I hold a Master of Arts in Communication with an emphasis in rhetorical research and political communication, a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, and an Associate of Arts in Music Performance. I am also a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) and am completing my Certified Career Coach credential.

My formal teaching experience includes serving as an adjunct instructor at the University of Arkansas and John Brown University, where I taught undergraduate students in traditional classroom settings. Courses included Introduction to Public Relations, News Writing, Speech I and II, Political Communication, and foundational Communications courses. In these roles, I developed course content, delivered lectures, evaluated written and oral assignments, and provided individualized feedback to support student growth.

In addition to classroom teaching, I have extensive one-on-one instructional experience through executive career coaching and academic mentoring. For more than seven years, I have worked individually with students, professionals, and executives across the United States, helping them strengthen writing skills, critical thinking, public speaking, research, and professional communication. This individualized work closely mirrors tutoring environments and allows me to tailor instruction to each learner’s needs, goals, and learning style.

My tutoring approach is student-centered, practical, and encouraging. I break complex concepts into manageable steps, use real-world examples to reinforce learning, and focus on building both competence and confidence. I am especially well-suited to tutor writing, communications, public speaking, journalism, and career-focused academic skills, drawing on both my academic teaching background and real-world professional experience." less...
