Hobbies
I am an avid reader, and not just a "beach book" reader. I like that stuff, but I love literature. I read books as if preparing to write an essay, report, or critique even if I am not. I believe that in order to be a successful writer, you must read and read critically. You can blame my high school IB teacher for that! If your student is having trouble getting through a book and preparing her reading for a later project (i.e. reading for comprehension and analysis), then I'm definitely the one for you! My professional experience is in STEM and technical publishing, but my passion is in literature!
