Tammy is a college English instructor with 12 years of experience in the classroom teaching composition, reading, literature, and history courses. She majored in English and history at Barton College and received her Master’s in English with a literature concentration from East Carolina University. Before becoming an instructor, she began as a college tutor working with students in a variety of subjects, which is how she determined that she wanted to turn helping students into a career and share her passion for English and learning in general. In addition to teaching English courses, she has previously taught TEAS prep courses for students seeking to enter nursing programs. Since many students often dread entering an English classroom, she always looks for ways to make the material engaging and relatable to students. Student success is always her top priority in and outside of the classroom, and it is one of the many reasons why she enjoys working at Archer Review. Since joining the Archer team, she has found joy in hosting webinars where she can interact with students from across the country.

Besides teaching, Tammy, like most English majors, enjoys reading, especially fiction and historiographies. Her bucket list includes writing and publishing a novel one day. She loves playing with her dogs and cuddling with them on the couch. She loves the Boston Red Sox and the New York Rangers, but through and through she bleeds Carolina blue. Despite being a homebody and loving to spend time at home in the little downtime she has, she also enjoys traveling to the beach, lake, or mountains. To her, nothing beats sitting on the patio enjoying a good cup of coffee watching the sunrise or sunset over the water or the mountains.

Most importantly, her life revolves around her family. If she is not working, she is usually carpooling her kids to extra-curricular activities or sitting on the sidelines cheering at one of their games or dance competitions. As a family, they also enjoy traveling to new places and visiting their favorite amusement park. On most nights during the summer, you can find them as a family at baseball games cheering on their favorite minor league team and singing “Sweet Caroline” between innings. During the cooler months, they spend a lot of time watching their favorite college basketball team from the stands and pulling for the New England Patriots. Nevertheless, it all comes down to spending as much time together as a family as possible.
