Fun Facts
I love all types of dance! I began ballet when I was 4 and have continued with it since. I have also participated in jazz, contemporary, modern, and even a little flamenco dance. I really enjoy creative writing, too. I like making up stories about things I've done or wish I could do. Someday I hope to write a book! I also have a passion for travel. I love getting to know the cultures and people of far away places— learning their customs, eating their foods, and speaking their languages.
About Me
I am a first year Regents and Chancellor's Scholar at UC Berkeley, majoring in Peace and Conflict Studies and considering a minor in Creative Writing. I am also involved in the United Nations Association club on campus. After graduation I hope to travel and learn languages, attend graduate school, and someday work in International Relations with the UN or in journalism.
Experience
In high school I participated in several organizations that allowed me to tutor and mentor younger students. With a program called OASIS (Organized Academic Support in School) I spent an hour each school day mentoring three freshman students for one year. Through the Cesar Chavez Club, I tutored elementary school students in first and second grades once a week for three years. At the ballet school where I trained and grew up, I acted as a Teacher's Assistant in a ballet class once a week.
Approach
Throughout my education I have been both disappointed and utterly inspired by my classes as a result of the instructors who taught me. The ones who stand out as defining my education positively are those with an enthusiasm for the material they taught and an eagerness to pass this along to others. As a tutor now, I strive to bring this same excitement to the students I teach. It is my responsibility to bring each subject to life and inspire a passion for learning that will stay with my students.
