While I was seeking my Master's in Liberal Studies several years ago, I was approached to work in the college's writing and tutoring center as a history tutor and writing consultant. I had done a fair amount of freelance editing and consulting, but this involved significantly greater in-depth interaction with the students. As you can see from my interests listed below, they're pretty varied, and one other aspect of working as a tutor which I find inviting is the opportunity to discover new ones as I work with students exploring their particular subjects - even as a tutor one gets to learn about new things! Whether it was workshopping initial ideas, or drilling into a particularly complex thought, or witnessing that "Aha!" moment, for me, being a part of a student's writing journey was a truly grand experience, and I hope you will give me the opportunity to have those moments with you.
