Fun Facts
While many students study abroad during their college years, I had the opportunity to study for a year when I was in fifth grade in my native country of Peru. My parents wanted my Spanish skills to improve but also yearned to introduce to me the rich culture. I took my experiences to heart and became heavily involved In different clubs. In high school, I joined the Air Force Junior R.O.T.C. which stressed motivation, discipline, and leadership skills to help one exceed in school and beyond.
About Me
I am a sophomore Medical Technology major and Spanish minor at St. Joseph's College in Patchogue. My goal after completing my degree is to go on to medical school to become a neurologist. From a very young age, I have always enjoyed helping others and pursing a career in medicine is one of the many forms in which I believe I can make a difference in an individual's life. My ultimate goal is to join Doctors Without Borders and contribute my services in third world countries.
Experience
As part of the National Honor Society, I had the opportunity to tutor students ranging from sixth to twelfth grade weekly in all subjects, more specifically in science, Spanish, and math. Being part of a diverse community, I also tutored students and sometimes parents who were learning English as a second language. Currently, I am serving as a mentor and tutor to a student in seventh grade, teaching her about the college experience because it's never too early to start thinking the future.
Approach
Growing up, my parents instilled in me a love for the academics and the benefits of an education. I remembered my father saying that while exercising was essential for your body, the knowledge gained from reading was essential for your mind. While I firmly believe in this, I also know that each student is unique; some may be auditory learners, while others are visual learners. I strive to create a tutoring plan geared towards assessing the student's strengths to help them grasp the material.
