Teaching Experience

Throughout my MA program, I have been hired on as a GTA where I teach composition courses and tutor at the NAU Writing Commons. For my first year, I was assigned one section of ENG 105: Critical Reading and Writing, a four-credit course, as well as five additional hours per week of writing commons tutoring.
In the summer of 2021, I applied for and was hired on as an additional instructor of ENG 105 to teach one section as an asynchronous online class. This position gave me the opportunity to explore multiple teaching modalities with in-person, online, and hybrid models of instruction.
For my second year, my work as a GTA includes teaching a section of ENG 105 as well as one section of ENG 205: The Academic Writer’s Workshop, which is a two-credit course. I focus my ENG 205 class to concentrate on conducting research at a collegiate level, culminating in a term paper by the end of the semester where the students rhetorically defend a topic of their choice.
In the Fall of 2021, I was also asked to teach an additional ENG 205 course due to an overflow of incoming students and limited instructors, putting me at a three-course load for the semester. This opportunity allows me to diversify my areas of instruction, as each class tackles different research-based topics such as rhetorical analysis, literature, or creative non-fiction.
Additionally, my success at NAU’s writing center was recognized by our program directors, as I was asked to stay on during my second year in order to facilitate writing workshops with the Doctor of Psychology program. In this position, I meet individually with PsyD students up to four hours per week, improving the writing of their dissertations and clinical documents. I also host a weekly workshop with five mentees, where we workshop their research over various drafts.
