Private tutor in Marysville, WA

Education

Communication Major at Crown College in St. Bonifacius, Minnesota. I studied film, journalism, and graphic design. I was an honors student all 4 years of college and all the papers I wrote were pretty good. I was also involved in Student Senate, but my favorite college experience was being Editor-in-Chief of the college newspaper my junior and senior year. I graduated a happy and educated pumpkin after sending a beach ball up during the ceremony and tossing my leadership towel to my favorite professor, who taught me everything I still know and apply about movies.

Hobbies

I run, hike, bike, play ultimate frisbee, and my favorite place to be is the beach. I am also a self-professed nerd, who loves reading and watching movies. And I write. I'm a writer, in fact! I promise you I will be a fun tutor. I also love traveling and other cultures. I believe we can learn a lot from the people around us, and as your tutor, I hope you can learn a lot from me! However, I do believe that education in any form is a two-way street, so in the process of me helping you, I know I will learn from you, too.
