Fun Facts
I enjoy reading and reading aloud, also commonly known as spoken word. A positive form of poetic performance that might have benefited me in high school because of the personal connection that the individual has when expressing emotion and thought. Most of my readings include poems and stories of self expression, enlightenment and self preservation. Cultural emphasis on one's self expression has allowed me to gain confidence and ease during my time in college.
About Me
I am a Junior Transfer in my second semester at San Francisco State University. I transferred from San Diego Mesa College with an AA in Black Studies with Honors. I hope to receive my teachers credentials and Masters at USF. My ultimate goal is to become a Community College professor to encourage students to continue with their education due to the lack of minorities not matriculating to higher education, addressing the inequity in education.
Experience
During my time in San Diego I took the opportunity to work as a Substitute Teacher's Aide for San Diego Unified School District at multiple schools and at different grade levels. I also mentored newly enrolled college students interested in the Black Student Union which I was the President of. I am looking for more opportunities in the Bay Area to continue the work I was doing in San Diego.
Approach
Throughout my K-12 academic experience I found few motivational aspects that allowed me to express myself fully. It was not until my Black Studies classes at San Diego Mesa College where I developed social-emotional and life skills allowing me to understand who I was as an individual and my power in my words and thought to become my best self. As a tutor I hope to transfer some of those sentiments to those I encounter.
