  I am experienced in the fields of higher education

  technical writing

  creative writing and editing/proofreading. I have spent four years as a one-on-one writing tutor

  helping proofread and edit student manuscripts

  with a focus on ESOL students and older

  nontraditional and development students. I have also spent four years as a college English instructor

  teaching a wide variety of courses such as: Technical Writing

  World Literature

  Introduction to Literature

  Freshman Composition I & II and Advanced Composition. My teaching methods are very hands-on with an emphasis on collaboration

  multimedia tools and active learning styles. Having worked at both a community college and HBCU

  I am adept at engaging diverse student bodies. \n\nI have also been an avid writer

  blogger and have maintained a personal

  professional and corporate/institutional social media presence

  connecting with the general public and student bodies. My degree focus is in Creative Writing

  which required me to not just creative works

  but to deconstruct my own writing and understand literary theories and elements. My creative interests have also branched into film

  and in 2001 I wrote

  directed and edited an award winning film for Spindletop Film Festival.\n\nWhile attending grad school

  I worked full time in the PVAMU Writing Center as a graduate mentor. Part of my duties involved the hiring

  training and overseeing of undergraduate employees and instructing them in educational software and hardware such as iPads

  MAC Computers

  Instant messaging services and Dragon Speaking Naturally. During my undergraduate years

  I worked in computer services as a lab assistant and manned their customer service desk for a year. \n\nRecently I have also moved into freelance manuscript and novel editing. the latest project that I worked on was editing the religious nonfiction book \"Marked\" by Shawn Miller

  available now.
