I believe every student learns differently, and that it is the responsibility of the teacher to make sure that every student is engaged. I also believe that education is essential to being able to actively participate in the world. As such, I believe that a relationship between student and teacher built on mutual respect is ideal for creating a good learning environment. Lastly, I believe learning is a process, not a product.

I attended Smith College and received a B.A. in Sociology and the Study of Women and Gender. I have extensive experience reading, writing, researching, and proofreading work.

In my spare time I enjoy watching and sometimes playing rugby.

I received a score of 2210 on my SAT test and 31 on my ACT test.
