Hello! I am a graduate of Arizona State University with a Bachelors of the Arts in Secondary Education- English. Although I am living in Gilbert, Arizona, I grew up in sunny Huntington Beach, California, Surf City, USA.
Other than English, a few of my other interests are history and music. I have spent most of my life playing one instrument or another, and I have experience as a Pit and Visual Coach for a high school band in California. In addition, I work as a children's soccer coach. I travel all around the valley to parks and schools teaching children ages two through eight how to play soccer and have fun.
Some big passions of mine are reading (particularly fantasy and science fiction) and watching wacky American and British television shows and movies. If you are interested in good books, television shows, and movies, I can definitely recommend quite a few.
When I am home, I also spend a lot of time at my church volunteering with the children on Sundays and playing the piano in the worship band on Thursday nights.
By navigating through the tabs above you can see some of the work I have accomplished throughout my four years of university study. First, you have my honors thesis project, The British Origins of Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature. This was my final thesis project for Barrett, the Honors College. It focuses on some of the major works of science fiction and fantasy which were penned over the years in Great Britain as well as modern day counterparts. Under some of the other tabs you can see my resume and certifications, read some of the essays I have written, examine some of my research into the field of education, see many of the technology tools I have experience with, overview my Study Abroad experience in London, Dublin, and Ireland, and a few other research projects I have performed.
Bellow is a Prezi presentation which further introduces who I am and what my goals are.
