Penelope: United States: Aug 14, 2023

Hello, my name is Penelope Tooks. I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from Kutztown University. I majored in English with a concentration in Professional Writing and Minors in Literature and Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies. I was the Vice President of our school's literary magazine, a tutor at the writing center, and a student assistant for a professor in the English Department.

I have a deep interest in people and their cultures. I've studied abroad in two separate programs. I went to Ireland for a month last summer. The program helped me learn about Irish history while studying poetry and literature. At the beginning of this year, I went to Italy for three months to complete an internship. I did research on the local historical monuments and museums. Then, I wrote articles for a tourism company.

Much of my experience has revolved around writing, grammar, and literature. I love to study English, and I learned that I love teaching it as well. My tutoring position was one of my most fulfilling experiences. I love guiding people through their learning journey. It would be a dream to get the opportunity to help children, who are at the beginning of the educational path.
