Experience
I am currently employed at the Write Place at the University of Dayton. We work with students to improve writing skills through using the socratic method when reading students' papers with them. I love teaching others and seeing students find joy in achieving a greater understanding of an academic subject. I have taken AP United States History, AP English Literature and Composition, AP English Language and Composition, AP Microeconomics, AP Government, AP Music Theory, and AP Biology and received scores of 4s and 5s on all but two exams. I am familiar with the AP test format and content and am passionate about helping students succeed in these exams as AP credit has been crucial in my college experience.

Hobbies
I am passionate about reading and writing. In my free time, I read Jane Austen as well as modern authors and write creative non-fiction. I enjoy watching Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Psych. I play flute, piccolo, guitar, and piano and love sharing music with others. I enjoy going to symphonic concerts, going to festivals and cultural events, going to museums, and spending time with my friends and family. Above all, my faith guides everything that I do, and I strive to treat each person with the dignity that he or she deserves as a child of God.
