Hey Currier! I am super excited to return for another year as a resident tutor. I grew up in Connecticut, but I spent several years in New Jersey, earning my Ph.D. in English at Princeton. For undergrad, I went to Colby College in Maine, where I studied English and Sociology. I currently teach college writing, so feel free to toss any writing-related questions my way! I am happy to help look for dangling modifiers or talk through the stakes of an essay’s argument.

In my free time, I enjoy trying out new fitness routines and exercise classes, attending women’s basketball games, watching reality television, and spending time with friends and family.

A couple years ago, I launched the Kardashian Lifestyle Klub at Harvard within Currier, and several Currierites were interviewed for a feature on ABC News. Ask me about it sometime!

I also have a young English cream golden retriever named Sky. Sky actually appeared on the Jimmy Fallon show as a puppy for Pup Jeopardy with Chrissy Teigen. She is super friendly and loves getting pet. She and I look forward to greeting you as we head through the halls of Currier!

I live in Gilbert, so feel free to stop by at any time if you are looking for support, snacks, or conversation. I am also always available to meet for coffee or over a meal at the dining hall to talk about Harvard life, extracurriculars, sports, or academics. I can’t wait to meet all of you!
