I build engaging English composition curricula and strengthen college students’ academic writing.
What I'm looking for
I develop and deliver English Composition curricula at Lander College for Men, helping students strengthen critical reading, academic writing, rhetorical analysis, and argumentative essays through traditional and online instruction.
Across Kingsborough, Bronx, and Queensborough Community Colleges, I’ve adapted instruction for English Language Learners, juvenile justice students, and diverse academic needs. I also provide targeted writing support, collaborate with faculty, and have evaluated AI-generated content to improve language-model training outputs.
