2009年，我从哥伦比亚大学毕业，获得了文化人类学学位。因为人类学是不同领域(心理学、哲学、社会学、文学研究)的大杂烩，我对人文学科有着广泛的热情。我活着就是为了阅读、写作、交谈和分析。我对教学的热情可以追溯到2007年;当我还在上大学的时候，我志愿在哈莱姆区的一所教区学校教打击乐。这段经历是如此有益，使我永远走上了受教育的道路。从那以后，我喜欢在不同的环境中帮助学生学习:从教GED到在中心城服务工作工会的成员，再到在北费城为高危人群提供英语支持。尽管我有很多书呆子的兴趣，但别人都说我是个很悠闲的人。我重视学生和导师之间的友好和开放的交流。我要你帮助你学习，而不是当你的教官! That being said, I do have high expectations for my students, because you should hold yourself to high standards if you want to improve your skills. Outside of instruction/studies, I played basketball in high-school, although ultimately other interests took over and I never pursued hoops on the college level; however, I still enjoy playing several days a week. I'm also a musician/engineer playing in several bands at once and recording various artists in the Philadelphia area. In addition to being a musician, I'm a published poet and an avid reader of poetry. I hope we can work together to expand your knowledge and scholarly confidence!
