I transferred to Yale from Raritan Valley Community College, where I earned a double AA in English and Liberal Arts-Theater, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA, was the English Department's student of the year, and served as Executive Vice President of Phi Theta Kappa, for which position I earned an award. I have particular skill and passion for essay writing and editing, as well as classical literature such as Shakespeare and Greek theater. I have a deep love for learning and education, and I enjoy helping students make sense of difficult language. In my free time I act, sing, read and craft.

I have long worked as an actor and have experience in several theatrical positions, including working as a producer, director, playwright, and once even assistant master electrician!
