“What is realized in the novel is the process of coming to know one's own language as it is perceived in someone else's language, coming to know one's own belief system in someone else's system.” - M. Bakhtin It was my love for reading and language that steered me towards my MA in English Language and Literature. Throughout my education, I have became familiar with different language skills, as well as literary criticism and feedback. I'm comfortable with writing articles on the topics of sociolinguistics, literary criticism and review, feminism and American literature. My language skills entail: - Translating Bosnian to English and vice versa - Tutoring / Conversational practice - Editing - Proofreading - Beta reading - Reviewing - Providing extensive feedback - Academic writing My soft skills include: - Management - Excellent communication - Problem solving - Researching Please note: I do not condone the use of AI in any fiction or non-fiction work under any circumstances.

I’m an American educator, literacy specialist, and proofreader with dual degrees in Elementary Education and Biblical Studies and a minor in Intercultural Studies, along with endorsements in ESL and K–8 Reading. Additionally, I have both ACSI and TESOL certificates. My background has equipped me with strong skills in reading comprehension, editing, and clear communication—skills I now use to help clients create polished, professional, and engaging content. What I do best: - ESL or ELA tutoring - Proofreading & Editing – Careful attention to detail to ensure accuracy, clarity, and polished writing. - Reading & Literacy Support – Strategies for comprehension, vocabulary growth, and English language learners. - Educational Resources – Worksheets, activities, and learning supports that make reading engaging and effective. - Faith-Based Content – Biblically sound, reader-friendly materials for Christian education. I’m passionate about helping others communicate ideas clearly and making ELA accessible for all learners. Whether you need proofreading, literacy-focused support, or faith-based content, I bring both precision and creativity to every project.
