I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in English from Southeast Missouri State University. In attaining my degrees, I gained experience in literature analysis and creative writing that I then transitioned into a Teaching Assistantship. Alongside completing my Master’s, I was the Instructor of Record for an English Composition course in which I oversaw 20+ students of a diverse background while instructing them the proper forms of writing. In my role as Instructor of Record I was responsible for creating assignments, developing lesson plans, and providing group as well as individual instruction in writing culminating in four major essays over the course of the semester.
