I have a Bachelor's of English and History from Lake Superior State University, a Master's in Literature from Central Michigan University, and a PhD in Rhetoric and Composition from Wayne State University. Since obtaining my PhD, I am certified work as director the writing center at Wayne State University and professor of undergraduate and graduate courses in the English department and Interdisciplinary studies. My professional and teaching experiences has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse range of students-from students in the nursing field, the radiology department, STEM, English, and beyond. I am also a chair or member of diverse committees at Wayne State University dedicated to student support, reading and writing initiatives, inclusivity and diversity, and interdisciplinary studies. I have experience teaching and tutoring a wide range of subjects and levels of education, but am most passionate about English, Literature, History, Writing in the Disciplines, Standardized Tests, Personal Statements, and College Applications, as that is my area of expertise. I recognize that students or clients have prior experiences and knowledge that is unique to them and should be honored. Teaching and tutoring is one of my primary passions in life. I have been fortunate to work with a wide range of students with varied needs and strengths and have found great joy in collaborating, exploring, and learning together. I am passionate about helping students and clients meet their own personal, academic, and professional goals. In my spare time, I enjoy running, gardening, and painting. I cannot wait to work with you and collaborate on accomplishing your academic and professional goals!
