Description

I am planning to graduate from the University of Massachusetts Amherst this coming May 2008 as an honors student with a Bachelor's Degree in Comparative Literature. I have strong writing abilities and a profound knowledge of the English language. I have also developed teaching abilities through a lifetime of tutoring as well as some professional substitute teaching roles.
