Bio

My name is Emma! I am originally from the Chicago area but I love travel, adventures, and living in new places. I have a passion for learning, especially when it comes to words and language study!

One of my biggest strengths is listening. I believe that most students already have a lot of the tools they need to succeed, even if they need help learning how to use them. I love to help students see this and develop confidence for themselves. I want the people I help to have a voice in and direct the process, with me acting as support when they need it.

Education

• B.A. Foreign Languages & Literature (French) & B.A. Communication (Creative Media); Minors in Arabic, Linguistics, and Liberal Arts
• Currently pursuing a Master's of Linguistics & Translation

My proudest achievements

• National Merit Scholar
• University of Alabama President's List (10 semesters)
• 3.5 years assisting in ESL classroom
