Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been passionate about English. Before I even started Kindergarten, I would email my mom short stories and poems I wrote for her. English was my favorite s... ubject from kindergarten on. I have a love for reading, textual analysis, creative writing, and argumentative essays. Now, I am a Regent Scholar at Pepperdine University. In high school, I earned A's in all my English classes. I was nominated two years in a row by my English teachers as a candidate for the Governor's Honors Program in the subject of writing. I was also selected to join the AP Capstone program which consists of two courses: AP Seminar and AP Research. Both courses focus heavily on writing, literature analysis, reading comprehension, and argumentation. I ended both of those courses with high A's. I also participated extensively in Creative Writing Club and Poetry Club. As President of Poetry Club, I spent many hours writing, planning events, and analyzing literature. During this same time I was also a Young Scholar writer for my local city newspaper. I have an extensive background in editing and coaching students. I helped several students with their college application essays during the 2020-2021 college admissions cycle. Some of the students I helped ended up committing to California State Long Beach. I have tutored children of all ages from 2 years old to 18 years old. Most recently I was working on reading and writing comprehension in a classroom of 2-3 year old children. At the same time, I tutored high school students and some college peers in writing. read more
