About Me
A life-long fascination with teaching, instructional design, and alternative education prompted me to choose both my M.A. and PhD. programs for their strong pedagogical formations.After eight years of university teaching and design, and some private elementary school, public high school, working within multiple writing centers, private tutoring, volunteering with a nonprofit focused on supporting immigrant students through high school, and an appointment as a graduate writing coach, I launched my own educational consulting.I was homeschooled K-12, and have since been a student in private and public institutions, as well as taught across public and private universities, from Kentucky to New York City, serving underresourced urban and rural populations, as well as taught students in some of NYC's wealthiest contexts. As an educator, I have not only remained abreast of shifts in homeschooling, but have learned to design and evaluate curricula, teach many different populations of learners in different settings, and think through the strengths and weaknesses of many educational structures.This range and depth of educational experiences has positioned me uniquely to help parents and guardians evaluate the education their child is receiving, holistically consider how effective and well-integrated it is into the community, adapted to the student's specific needs and interests, and consider the quality and design from an educator's perspective.I am deeply invested in assisting parents and guardians who are considering alternative education with researching local opportunities in their budget, writing out their short and long-term goals, matching their semesterly and annual plans to support those goals, and evaluating the quality of various curricula as well as how it's strengths and weaknesses map onto the student's needs.
