As a student, I earned a 3.87 in my major of English Arts, while both working as an employee for the school writing center and as a contributor for

I began tutoring people when I was in the eigth grade. I decided I wanted to help out at the school across the street from my middle school in Colorado. I enrolled in a class that allowed us to go and assist the teachers and help the students. I fell in love with kids then for sure.
