About I don't really know much about taking portraits. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do better here as far as lighting or composition or whatever?

Well, this shot just goes to show how much you have learned in a year. The principal problem I see with this shot is the use of on-board flash. While sufficiently illuminating your subject, any on-board flash is so close to the lens that it flattens and minimizes features. It's best to work with 1, 2 or 3-point lighting that is 30 to 45 degrees from the subjects view of the lens.

HERE is a good diagram with explanation.

I believe lighting can make or break any portrait, and is what separate a 'snapshot' from a portrait.

I really like the pose and you caught a great smile. I have to agree with Steve about the lighting. It looks like the light is directly on her. It would be more effective if you placed it more to the side - it would bring out more interesting shadows in her face. If the shadow side is too dark, you could use a reflector (a piece of foam core board works well and is quite inexpensive) to fill in. Still, this is nice work. I am looking forward to seeing your future portraits.

I like this portrait very much as well. The only suggestion I might make would be to temper the contrast between the right and left sides of the face. The way the subject's hair curls down over the face makes the lighting appear to be concentrated above the curl.
