Hello, nice to meet you! I am committed to engaging and fun lessons for all students! I believe all students learn in their own way, and am more than happy to accommodate wherever they may need assistance!
I received a Bachelors of Arts degree in Linguistics from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I have a TESOL certificate as well.
One of my specialties is creative writing. I love embarking on literary journeys to the far reaches of other universes, creating fun characters along the way!
I have been drawing since I was very young and believe my skills in drawing would help and inspire students to explore the realm of art. I am mostly experienced in drawing anime style art.
Another one of my passions is video games, I am excited to play engaging games with students and help with life skills in this way!
I look forward to meeting you!
