I obtained my Bachelors in Fashion Design back in 2016 to pursue my dream of becoming a Fashion Designer, but later went back to school for a Masters in History. I worked as tutor for ten years on and off alternating between tutoring agencies and freelance tutoring. I currently work as a Substitute Teacher for four districts but I am hunting for work in my field. Since I majored in US History I am looking for jobs where my skills will be valued.
