After participating in high school AP courses, I began my higher education at the University of North Florida. I am currently finishing a bachelors degree in History, and have been certified by Dale Carnegie Training in leadership and professional human relations. Naturally drawn to all things expressive, I tutor a wide range of creative subjects. I am particularly passionate about Visual Art, Reading, and English due to the joy I feel when I can help fuel a child's excitement for such fulfilling skills as successful communication and creative expression. I believe the ability to effectively communicate is a key factor in personal achievement, and a critical life skill that should be cultivated from an early age. The happiness that blooms in a person who learns to find joy in their work, taking pride in setting and meeting goals, is a beautiful thing.
In my personal time, I love to pursue my own art, read wonderful books, and cook delicious vegetarian food. I have logged volunteer hours in Guatemala, where I assisted in bringing food and clean water to low-income families. I am often found playing with my feisty little dog or watching dinosaur documentaries, and my favorite animal is the great white shark, a preference I'm sure many of my students will share.
