Mission & Qualifications
Although I've had a love of the written language my entire life, it wasn't until my early twenties when I decided to pursue my love of English. Each and every word combination can create an entirely different voice, and each word is so powerful! It's upsetting to see so many students losing their voices when writing, and so I encourage the development of a tool so powerful it is used for every subject the student will pursue in the future (excluding foreign language, but it will still play a key role in translation services). My friends used to get irritated at me while growing up because I was that 'nerd' who vocally corrected their grammar. I've since learned to refrain from such comments unless they are sought, which has saved countless relationships, I'm sure!
