Creative tutor and aspiring screenwriter with a passion for storytelling.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated educator and aspiring screenwriter, I have honed my skills in both teaching and creative writing. My journey began at The George Washington University, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in English and Creative Writing, graduating with honors as a Phi Beta Kappa member. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's in Writing for Screen and Television at the University of Southern California, where I am deepening my understanding of narrative structure and character development.
In my professional experience, I have worked as a tutor across various subjects, including English and history. At Study Smart Tutors, I led small group sessions and provided personalized one-on-one tutoring, which significantly improved my students' academic performance. My role as a Development Intern at Thunder Road Pictures allowed me to evaluate feature-length scripts, enhancing my analytical skills and understanding of the film industry. I am passionate about fostering creativity in others and helping students find their unique voices.
