Aly is an insightful, compassionate and knowledgeable educator. She is willing to take her time to really get you the help that you need when you are struggling. She is patient, which really helps whenever you hit a rough spot and get a little frustrated with yourself. She is there to help you past the frustration. I've taken her creative writing lessons and I feel as if I have grown so much as a writer. She helps draw out the creative sides of you and helps you to not be afraid to share what you have written. I highly recommend Aly and I hope that she opens up more lessons because she creates a safe and encouraging space for learning. She is an A+ professor in my book!
