About Me
hoping to teach in the classroom soon :)
Bio
I graduated from Trinity College with a B.A. in English Literature in 2007. Next, I moved onto teaching in a private high school in a one-on-one academic coaching program. Last year, I began also working in the Writing Center at the school. I hope to teach English in the classroom as soon as possible.
Interests
reading, writing, drawing, metacognition, philosophy, psychology, the mind/body connection, speech-act theory, building upon my existing 80 page undergraduate thesis on the father/daughter relationship in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet, learning more about how to help kids improve their writing and (perhaps more importantly) their thinking, English literature, Shakespeare, absurdity, existentialism, nihilism, the 17th century, coffee, naps, honesty...
