I love playing sports, being outside, listening to music and traveling. I was the drum major of my high school marching band, and I played saxophone until college. I spent a semester abroad in Barcelona, Spain during the second half of 2011.

Honesty, communication and teamwork are crucial from all parties, including me, the student, parents and teachers, in order to succeed. It is hard for me to know what to teach or how much time to spend on a topic if I don’t know the current level of understanding, and I will not
