Hello! My name is Cammie, and it is a pleasure to meet you. I graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University with a degree in English and minors in Asian American Studies, East Asian Studies, and Gender Studies. I have received numerous awards for both my academic scholarship and cultural criticism, and am planning on attending graduate school to pursue career in academia.
During 2023, I received a Fulbright grant to teach English at a middle and high school in South Korea, where I worked with over 650 students across five different grade levels. Prior to my Fulbright, I also taught music to high school students in Trenton and mentored international students applying to colleges in the United States and the United Kingdom. I am most experienced in teaching English, reading, writing, and with college essay tutoring, but am eager to tailor my knowledge and expertise to suit the needs of my students.
Aside from writing and teaching, I am passionate about film, music, art history, pottery, good design, and tea.
