Bio

My Story

As a determined and outgoing dreamer in the professional world, I aim to approach every obstacle with a problem-solving mentality. A large part of my success stems from my can-do attitude and willingness to immerse myself around different cultures in an attempt to understand others and gain different perspectives, and by doing so, it broadens my horizons. I continue pursuing my dreams, one day at a time. Have a look at the work I’ve done in the past, and get in touch to learn more.

At Coastal Carolina University, my Alma Mater, I have had the privilege to work many jobs and hold various positions.

I mainly helped and learned with English 101 and 102, but Lane provided opportunities for me to also engage with his creative writing course.

I have taught all classes here in person.

When I graduated from Coastal Carolina University with my Bachelor's degree, this was my first full-time job. I lived in Orlando, Florida and worked for Wiley Education Services until they sold the department in 2023 eventually becoming Risepoint.

My job consisted of helping students with the enrollment process for colleges across the United States. I spoke professionally to students through phone calls, texting, and many other platforms. I became proficient in Mircosoft Teams through this job and everyday use.
