I am a PhD student in English Literature, currently working on a dissertation about archives and diasporic novels. I started tutoring students in English as a Second Language (ESL) when I was a college student, and I have taught Rhetoric and General Education Literature courses as a graduate instructor. When working with students, I really enjoy moments when they finally get to experience their own ideas and opinions fully articulated on the page. My goal is to help them find their own words and present them in clear precise prose. Outside of the Writing Center, I can usually be found at the Farmer's Market, with my nose in a crime thriller, or catching up on my correspondence via snail mail.
