What I'm looking for

I seek a flexible job that brings creativity and passion to everyone. I am a writer first and skilled jack of trades second.

I am an Associate in Arts graduate in English with a certificate in Creative Writing, combining a foundation in literary craft with hands-on experience in education and student support.

As a substitute teacher and afterschool tutor at PET Charter School, I deliver prepared lessons, manage classroom behavior, adapt instruction for diverse learners, and design personalized learning plans to improve student outcomes.

My background includes copywriting, editing, and proofreading skills alongside technical familiarity with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Audacity, and OBS Studio; I also have event and program planning experience through volunteer work.

I have been recognized in the Judith Stark Creative Writing Contest (First Place 2024, Fourth Place 2023) and bring a collaborative, student-centered approach to roles that blend education, communications, and community engagement.
