I am a graduate of Missouri State University. I received my Bachelor of Science with a double major in Spanish and Anthropology, with a focus on biological anthropology.

While in university, I completed two semesters abroad, one in Spain and one in China. While abroad, I tutored students in English, both one on one and in a group setting.

Since graduation, I have traveled to almost 20 countries. I worked as an English language assistant in Spain for two years. I helped high school students improve their conversational and written English skills. I also helped them prepare for the Cambridge exam, the equivalent of the ACT or SAT for ESL students from other countries. I've also helped private students in elementary school, middle school and high school in the USA, Spain and China.

While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about History, English, Spanish, and Writing.

In my experience helping students, I like to take a multimedia approach. I believe rote memorization is only one method to help students learn. I often employ videos, games, apps and real-life examples in my tutoring sessions.

I believe education is important for every person, both as a means for future employment and to improve everyone's quality of life. I try to impart my passion for knowledge to all of my students.

In my spare time, I enjoy writing about my travels, reading alternative history and science fiction novels, and watching every St. Louis Blues game live.
