Experience
I want to teach because I believe it's a powerful tool in effecting change. Emphasizing WHY a student needs to learn something helps them acquire a better grasp of the world, and figure out their place in it. I'm a lover of language, especially English, and am always interested in how it changes and evolves, as well as how society learns to adapt to it. EMPLOYMENT HISTORY TEST ITEM DEVELOPER The Japan Institute for Educational Measurement August 2014 - January 2015 ○ Developed test items for CASEC, a new type of assessment that uses computerized adaptive testing to measure English ability.

Hobbies
I'm an advocate of the arts, especially literature, music, and design. I read a lot. A LOT. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, graphic novels—you name it. I'm a staunch advocate of semicolons, the em dash, and the Oxford comma (of course). My goal in life is to write the perfect sentence, an endeavor which I am inclined to believe no one but Ms. Virginia Woolf has achieved.
