I want to work for the welfare and happiness of others. Whether I work in education, publishing, non-profit, retail, or any other kind of career, I want to use my skills to benefit my community and the world at large.

Currently, I'm a graduate student on track to earn my MFA in Creative Writing, as well as a certificate in Women's and Gender Studies. I frequently switch between living at home in Nashville and living in Memphis for school and my tutoring job. I have already completed two years of grad school, where I gained a year of experience as an instructor at the collegiate level. I also worked as an Online Editor for a year for a super cool literary journal called The Pinch. I also served as the Department of English's Social Media Graduate Assistant for the 2015-2016 academic year.

In my work as a tutor, I typically work with kids ranging from 5 to 19. With younger kids, I usually work on developing their literacy through the Wilson Reading System, which is designed especially to help people with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. I also help older students stay on top of their studies, helping them with homework and reading comprehension. My "specialties" are essay writing (at all levels) and ACT Test Prep for English, Reading, and Writing.

Although I have more older (middle/high school) than younger students at the moment, I really love children, babies especially. I have many hours of experience volunteering at a NICU in a Nashville hospital, and I never get tired of babysitting.

Beyond that, I love cartoons, naps, and sweets. My most common fashion aesthetic lately seems to be "comfy and colorful." I just got an Audible account in March and have been obsesssed ever since. I also love listening to podcasts such as "Welcome to Night Vale" and "The Black Tapes." I'm almost caught up with "Tanis" as well if anyone wants to talk about what's happening now! ;D
