I hold a BA in Philosophy from the University of San Diego and an MA in English Literature, along with a Technical Writing Certificate, from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. I have over 15 years of experience in IT as a Technical and UX Writer, including several years leading Technical Writing departments. I've taught at Cal Poly, Creighton University, McMurry University, and Fortis Academy, covering courses in Composition, Rhetoric, and literature from the Medieval period through Post-Modernism. I enjoy helping students strengthen their writing, sharpen their critical thinking, and develop a lasting appreciation for literature. I use the Classical Essay as a foundation for most of the writing that I teach.

I am a graduate of The College of William and Mary School of Marine Science at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science with a Ph.D. in Marine Science and minor in Marine Policy. My area of expertise is marine biology and ecology focusing primarily on how organisms fit in with and affect their habitat. I also have a Master's in marine science from the University of San Diego where I focused research on a small swimming red crab common to the southern Pacific Ocean along Baja California, Mexico, after first completing a Bachelor's of marine science at Coastal Carolina University near Myrtle Beach, SC. I enjoyed traveling to different coastal locations such as the eastern provinces of Canada, Hawaii and San Diego, CA, to participate in research as a volunteer. I even volunteered while a graduate student on a 2-week long research cruise that explored a unique ocean-bottom habitat off the coast of northern California. My favorite subjects are biology and ecology. As a marine scientist I am educated in the four major science disciplines of biology, chemistry, geology and physics as they relate to the ocean environment. I currently teach Introduction to Oceanography which introduces students to the ocean environment in the context of those same science. I also teach Introduction to Biology and laboratories in microbiology and basic human anatomy and physiology. I have tutored students at the schools where I teach general sciences as well as mathematics and statistics. I also have an undergraduate business degree in applying computer solutions to address business problems where I became well versed in Microsoft Office programs. I expanded my expertise in Microsoft Office programs throughout my science education. I believe everyone can learn and retain new material; it may just need to be delivered from a different perspective. I enjoy learning new "factoids" I can use to excel at trivia games. Reading is probably my most favorite activity and I really enjoy watching professional sports.
Hi! I am still a student myself, currently earning a Masters degree in Peace and Justice. I am trained a political scientist and historian and have experience in tutoring a myriad of subjects, especially those in the humanities. I tend to like to keep sessions casual when possible-- I don't want to lecture you. I'm a strong believer that concepts are best grasped when you form your own opinions and feelings about the subject, and that happens with conversation! So, let's get to know each other a little bit before we hit the books so that I can tailor each session to accommodate your specific interests and strengths as much as possible.
