In November of 2023, I graudated with my Masters degree in English. I also have my TEFL certification, which I recieved last fall. I have several years of experience as a writer and editor, and have an in-depth understanding of the English language, how it's put together, and how it is and can be used. In my current position at work, I am a content manager, aiding others in their use of the language for casual as well as more professional tasks. I have also tutored students and family friends with their English essays and projects, which has allowed me to continully refine how I can express concepts in a simple, effective way.

I've had a love for language and literature since I was a child. As I’ve grown and expanded on my education and passions, I’ve come to develop an admiration for other languages alongside my native tongue. Language is an art in many forms, and no matter the language that someone speaks, it is something that should be appreciated, studied, and most importantly, shared, seeing just how interconnected our world has become.

Alongside being a lifelong learner, travelling, and doing all I can to experience new places and cultures, I am someone who has learned how to adapt to many settings and circumstances when needed, including knowing when to ask for help and collaborate with others and when to take initiative and focus on a task individually. With all that said, I would love to teach to help others find their own love for language. A whole new world opens up when you immerse yourself in something new and I would love to be the person who opens that door for children and adults alike.

I have two years of teaching experience in college, and in high school I served as a mentor for a kindergarten-aged girl, so I am familiar with both teaching and working with kids. I also think of myself as a friendly, patient person. In terms of skills I am good at copyediting, organization, completing tasks in a timely manner, and communicating both with coworkers and superiors.

I am a motivated and adaptable individual with strong problem-solving and communication skills. I bring a positive and uplifting attitude to any environment. My focus is on developing a diverse skill set and finding a role where I can grow, learn, and make a meaningful impact.
