Fun Facts

I have a passion for health and fitness that stemmed from being a track athlete in high school. I enjoy yoga and the self-awareness it has brought me. Since the 4th grade, I have played the saxophone and pursued jazz in high school and college having the opportunity to play with jazz majors and graduate students. In my free time, you can find me chilling with my cat and watching cartoons:)

About Me

I attended the University of Illinois at Urban-Champaign for 3 semesters majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology with aspirations of becoming a scientist. Concluding the fall 2020 semester, I decided to take time off due to struggles with mental health and online learning due to the pandemic.

During this time, I had several enriching opportunities working with kids in several settings including running an academic support program with the Boys & Girls Club and being an instructor at Mathnasium. Through these jobs, I discovered a passion for working with kids and teaching. I found that helping them build their self-confidence and eagerness to learn new concepts is a very rewarding process.

I have since moved to Chicago and am enrolled at chicago">University of Illinois at Chicago.

Experience

Since high school, I have been involved in tutoring and helping others learn. I tutored underclassmen in math and science and helped teach classmates concepts. I find that teaching other helped me form a deeper understanding of the material. I also was a guided practice teacher for middle and high schoolers who play saxophone (my primary instrument).

After high school, I have found myself in mentorship roles such as being an RA and was able to hone my skills as a tutor at Mathnasium.

Approach

I believe in the capabilities of every student that I work with, even if they don't. I will work to assess their comprehension level and aim to challenge them just beyond their comfort zone. One of my biggest rules is that I will not work harder than the student. This means that I will not help a student unless I see work on their page as proof that they attempted the problem.

I enjoy forming relationships with students outside content material as this helps build trust and improves learning.
