Fun Facts

As someone who is very motivated, I like to try new and challenging activities as much as possible. My most recent (and ongoing) endeavor has been to climb every peak in Colorado that is 14,000 feet or higher. I have checked ten mountains off my list and will continue again in the spring when the weather is favorable. I also enjoy other outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, climbing, biking, etc. My favorite thing to do is travel, so whenever I have the chance you will find me shopping

Most recently, I have been denver">tutoring College Algebra, General Chemistry I, General Chemistry II and Biology II. Because I am always looking to help students, I love to volunteer for things like helping my peers. Also, having a dream of being a successful educator has driven me to constantly work with and improve teaching methods for every imaginable student.

Too often, students are pushed just to understand that they need to answer questions but are never asked why. It is this reason that I enjoy denver">tutoring, and this methodology that I use whi
