MA in Creative Writing from Ivy League Institution, Published Author

I have enjoyed writing ever since I was a child, and although I held a knack for science and majored in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in undergrad, my creative bent and love for writing drove me to go on and obtain a Master's degree in Creative Writing from Dartmouth College. A highlight of my time in grad school was the creative writing summer intensive at Oxford University Exeter College that I was selected to attend. Since then I've published a fiction novel entitled /Call of the Song Sparrow/, and I've had some of my poetry published in journals/anthologies. I truly enjoy the proofreading and editing process that goes in to fine-tuning a finished work--whether it be an essay, a report, creative writing, or some other form of written work. During grad school, I worked as co-editor for the MALS Quarterly Journal, assisting those who had pieces selected for publication in editing and re-working their pieces so that they were publication-ready. Additionally, I have assisted other authors in the editing and revision processes for their books and short stories prior to publication. I have always enjoyed working with students; during an undergrad exchange program at Spelman College, I volunteered in a fourth grade classroom at M. Agnes Jones Elementary as a student aide twice a week. Working alongside the students, helping them understand concepts in science was not only rewarding, but also a growth opportunity for me that allowed me to learn how best to present potentially "boring" information in a fun, comprehensible way that young minds could most readily grasp.

Let me help you say what you need to say

I've taught Introduction to Speech and Public Speaking at Tarrant County College since late 2019, after receiving my MA in Communication with a 4.0 GPA from Eastern Michigan University. Prior to grad school, I was an assistant debate coach and instructional assistant in for the Communications Lab on campus. During that time, our competitive speech team qualified multiple students for the Phi Rho Pi national speech tournament both years I was an active assistant coach. And before that, I competed in debate and individual speaking events in High School and as an undergrad. According to my students, I am able to create a communication community that fosters confidence unique to each individual. I am successful at getting students to see where there own communication comes from and what practices they can use to communicate the best way that they can. It's an individualized approach that is about discovery and honing speaking skills. The key is that my students end the class with more confidence and a base set of skills upon which to build. I also have a tool no one else has, an application developed from an in-class activity that I call 90 Seconds to Make a Point. It is a highly customizable, random topic and audience type generator. I can input topics specific to a student's needs. This allows a student to not only practice their speaking, but also their critical thinking with relevance to any classroom topic.
