"I hold a master’s degree in journalism, a discipline that sharpened my ability to think critically, analyze information, and communicate ideas with clarity. My academic training and professional background have given me a strong foundation in research, storytelling, and persuasive writing—skills I now share with learners to help them succeed in both academic and personal projects.

I have worked with students across age groups in one-on-one and small group settings, guiding them in essays, personal statements, and creative work. As a postsecondary specialist, I have supported both high school and university students, particularly first-generation and underrepresented learners, as they prepare for college. This includes coaching them through admissions and scholarship essays, helping them navigate applications, and encouraging them to see the value in their unique perspectives. I also have experience with younger students through enrichment programs, where I focused on building technical writing skills while cultivating confidence in self-expression.

My approach to tutoring is student-centered and flexible. I believe strong writing begins with strong thinking, so I help learners clarify their ideas before shaping them into compelling narratives. Whether drafting a college essay, completing a school assignment, or developing a personal project, I emphasize both structure and creativity. By breaking down the writing process into manageable steps and fostering a supportive environment, I help students learn not just how to improve a single essay, but how to advocate for themselves through their words." less...
