I believe that students should have equal opportunities for educational success. Every student should be able to obtain help and direction either from a teacher or tutor in order to obtain optimal educational success. True education is only achieved when knowledge is not only learned but also retained and used. I believe that any student can be successful given the appropriate opportunities and tools to do so.

I graduated with honors in 2005 from Clemson University in Clemson, SC with a bachelor of arts in English, and then graduated in 2007 from Clemson University with a master of arts in English. I am currently finishing my practicum paper to become a Developmental Education Specialist from Appalachian University in Boone, NC.

I became an English adjunct professor, teaching freshman composition and developmental English. Now, I am teaching Developmental English, Introduction to Literature and Introduction to Composition.

I am active in my church and enjoy the theater and acting. I also enjoy cooking and I write a blog based around my cooking adventures.
