Experience
I studied at both Hampton University and The American University in Cairo. I earned my bachelor's degree in mass media arts and went on to earn my master's degree in journalism. Following graduation, I crisscrossed Africa and the Caribbean. During my travels, I coached, mentored and tutored professionals. My background includes helping native English students and students learning English as a second language, master the language through experiential learning and exercises. Integrating technology into my lesson plans is a practice I firmly believe in improving the quality of life. My goal is to share this philosophy with my students. I'm adept at tutoring various subjects, including reading, writing, essay editing, phonics, grammar and mechanics, college essays, public speaking, and English. During my teaching career, I served as an instructor for the U.S. Peace Corps and for several nonprofit organizations, which provided English as a second language. The Caribbean is where I was a journalism professor as well. I additionally tutored business owners in one-on-one private sessions. In this role, I helped these industrious individuals grasp marketing communications so they could apply their knowledge to making smart investment decisions. My professional career has taken me down many roads, and if I had to choose my favorite student population, I would choose pre-K and kindergarten pupils. I have cultivated experience working with Head Start programs, orthodox, and VA preschool initiative classrooms. My most fulfilling opportunity has been teaching in schools overseas, where I mentored kindergarten and secondary school students in the subjects of math and language arts. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy writing, reading, traveling, playing board games, and participating in water sports.
