"Hello, there! Here's a little bit about me - I hold an MFA in Film & Television Producing from USC's Peter Stark Program and an MBA from Indiana University in Marketing. As the founder of Salt Pictures, a member of the Producers Guild of America and award-winning filmmaker, I bring over 20 years of industry experience in television, indie films, and digital media to my tutoring practice.

I independently tutored pre-algebra and algebra for two years, helping students build mathematical confidence and problem-solving skills. Additionally, I have served as tutor on Varsity Tutors, teaching organizational skills, time management, and study strategies. My teaching philosophy emphasizes breaking complex concepts into manageable steps while creating supportive environments for learning.

Some of my specialty areas include:

- Screenwriting: Story structure, character development, dialogue, and industry formatting

- Filmmaking: Visual storytelling, pre-production planning, and production workflows

- Video Production: Professional techniques and project management from concept to delivery - includes editing

- Public Speaking & Interview Preparation: Confidence building, presentation skills, and audience engagement techniques

Whether helping you craft your first short film script, prepare for a speech competition, or develop a creative writing portfolio, I create an encouraging environment where artistic risks are celebrated and creative breakthroughs happen naturally. I use hands-on learning combined with real-world examples from my professional experience. Each session is personalized to your level and goals, ensuring steady progress through practical exercises and progressive skill building.
