"I am from Russellville and graduated from Arkansas Tech University with a Bachelor's degree in English Education. I have an Educator's license for English and Language Arts. I taught for four months at Russellville Junior High during a student internship and have been substitute teaching in the surrounding schools.

I am very enthusiastic about my field. I originally majored in English, but changed to English Education as a way to get younger people excited about English and to help show the importance of reading, writing and grammar.

During my educational career at ATU i studied literature of many different eras and locations. I took technical, creative and general writing classes. I studied grammar and the history of the English language. I took education courses to learn many diverse teaching styles and methods to meet the needs of any learning style a student may have.

I would love the opportunity to help students improve in any area. I am very enthusiastic about my field and hope to pass my enthusiasm on to my students." less...
