I graduated in 2006 with a BA from Emory University with a major
concentration in English and Creative writing. I spent much of my
studies on literature interpretation through extensive research,
alternate readings, and cross comparison's between authors' bodies of
work in relation to time and external influences. This gave me a very
good experience under my curriculum as I was graced with very skilled
teachers who had different teaching styles - this allowed me to see
different, and often choose for my self, better ways to captivate and
engage students.

In conjunction with my passion for kids, my experience pointed me
towards teaching with the direct hopes of being able to sculpt able
minds towards creativity and innovative study. I understand the
importance of teachers in every student's life and I want to be able
to return the very dedication my teachers have shown me throughout the
years.

I will be available for work starting June 1, 2008.

Please feel free to contact me at the email or phone number listed and
look forward to hearing more about the posts there. Thank you for your
time and consideration.
