I have a bachelor's degree in English Writing from Berea College, which was ranked the #1 liberal arts college in the U.S. I graduated in May 2013. I worked on campus as the Language Lab Supervisor and the Teacher's Assistant for the English as a Second Language course for international students studying at Berea. My job was to improve their English writing and speaking skills. I revised, edited, and graded the students' papers and provided consultations. I have also worked as a jeweler in the craft department and as a Teacher's Assistant in the Spanish Department.

I learned Spanish on frequent family trips to Mexico as a child and teenager.
