As a scholar of Rhetoric and Composition, I am passionate about teaching folks how to improve their writing and communication skills. My goal as a tutor is to place students and their needs/experiences first without sacrificing my needs or boundaries. I emphasize that writing is a practice (strong writing cannot happen in an instant), and I encourage writers to utilize different modalities while drafting to find what works best for them. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

I enjoy reading (especially fantasy books or Appalachian literature), whitewater rafting, hiking with my German Shepherd, playing Dungeons and Dragons, and eating at new, unique restaurants. I listen to folk rock or bluegrass music and cook at least one meal from scratch every day!
