"Hello! I'm a graduate student, getting my Masters in Public Affairs with a specialization in public policy. Back when I went to college at the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!), I knew I wanted to focus on theories of gendered and sexual violence, so I triple-majored in Gender Studies, Peace Studies, and Philosophy. After college, I spent a short six months in Guatemala, working at an orphanage and running their girls' empowerment program.

I'm passionate about writing, from the research papers I've written in academia to the young adult novel I wrote on a dare. I've always edited my friends' papers, starting from that first research project in elementary until more recently when I edited my friend's application to medical school and worked with a Wyzant student on his application materials to help him successfully get into NYU. I’ve been published in academic journals, received writing awards, and - in high school - scored a 36 in ACT English and a 790 in SAT Writing. I know not only how to make sure the grammar and sentence structure is correct, but how to ensure that your writing sounds like YOU! I love seeing someone's personality shine through their words and knowing that I helped them get there.

I can help you with more than just writing, though; I've tutored all sorts of students in all sorts of areas. Some of my past formal teaching experiences include: TA-ing for a college Introductory Logic course for 2 years; tutoring high school freshmen in Physics for a year; and teaching students ages 2-22 piano, tin whistle, and accordion for over 15 years. I love seeing students progress and nurturing the potential for growth that every student has.

I'm quite good at keeping stress levels low in a tutoring session. We can work through your problems together, ensuring understanding while not getting too bogged down in the confusion of it all. I’ll be there to walk you through it. I know it might be a cliche, but let's make learning fun!" less...
