A Little Bit About Me...

I am a third year undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin, River Falls studying English Literature and Technical Writing. I am also in my second year of French and am proficient at reading the language. I can provide assistance to the beginnining French student.

I am able to provide help in any of these subjects, due to the fact that I have continued my studies of them throughout my college career.
