"I have 15 years' teaching experience, working with clients of all ages, and subjects/skill areas. For the last 8 years, I taught English for students in the gifted/talented program. I have a BA and MA in English, with minors in Education and Literature, and I'm state certified in all Core Subjects EC-8 and ELAR 8-12, as well as certifications in gifted education and English language learners. Prior to public school, I taught courses at Texas Woman's University and North Central Texas College, in Intro Composition I & II, Technical/Business Writing, and Developmental Writing.

As a writing instructor, I'll assist in drafting and editing academic/scholarly writing, as well as fiction and journalism. As a writer myself, I've published articles for the Denton Record-Chronicle, Argyle Living, Lantana Living, HealthMarkets.com, as well as TWU's student newspaper, The Lasso. Before teaching at TWU & NCTC, I was senior writing consultant at both writing labs for 4 years, so I'm proficient in helping students develop writing skills at all stages, from brainstorming to editing, including conducting online research and using MLA/APA documentation.

Besides writing, I'm also knowledgeable in a range of other K-12 and college intro subjects including science, history, Spanish, and others. I also have strong technology skills in hardware & software including PCs, laptops, tablets, as well as Windows, Android, MacOS, and iOS.

Lastly, I'm happy to help students develop their learning skills, strategies, and habits to manage their time, stay organized, memorize challenging material, and use new resources.
