Education

I am a senior English Major at the University of Pennsylvania. My specialization is in creative writing and theatre arts. I expect to graduate in May 2016.

Experience

Last year, I worked as a tutor in a classroom of high-school students at West Philadelphia. The focus of our sessions was on creating dramatic monologues to be performed at an Arts Festival. I have also worked as a teacher's assistant at Northern Virginia Community College. In this capacity, I worked with 25 students of disparate ages and backgrounds including a number of students for whom English was a second language. I worked with students both in small groups and in a one-on-one capacity to improve their writing and critical reading.

Hobbies

I really enjoy going to the theatre and seeing new plays. The environment of a live performance is unlike anything else. I am also a big fan of cooking. I relish the opportunity to be creative and productive at the same time, and cooking allows me to do so. I've recently made the transition from sweet to savory foods and it's been quite an adventure.
