èßäÊÓƵapp

Born in Texas, raised in New Hampshire, but Texan at heart. I went to the University of Dallas for my undergrad (BA English, concentration in French); then went on to the University of Notre Dame to for my PhD (Literature: French, Irish Studies). While at Notre Dame, I spent a year in Dublin on a research fellowship. I've taught at èßäÊÓƵapp for ten years now, starting here while I was also working as a freelance journalist covering Dallas theater and the arts. In addition to tutoring in the ALEC and the Scholars Den, I have also taught for several summers at the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, working with teachers in secondary education. I grow to love teaching first year students more and more, and have especially loved my time in the Honors DISC program.
