Fun Facts

I am from Seattle, but I go to college in Chicago and every time I come home I have to always go on hike and hammock. I love being outside, in nature because there is not much of that in Chicago.

About Me

I am a rising Junior at Loyola University Chicago studying Sociology and Human Services. I have been on the dean's list two years in a row. I was a student mentor on my campus for first generation college students and students of color. I am hoping to attend grad school for social work in the future.

Experience

In high school I would volunteer at my local boys and girls club and I would help tutor elementary students and middle school students in all subjects. Last summer, I worked as a teacher's aid for a kindergarten class. In this I assisted the teacher in instructing class material and I also helped the students with their work. My past two spring breaks in college, I have traveled to both East St Louis and Memphis and worked torturing children and working in their classrooms.

Approach

I struggled in school, like every child has, but with the help of caring and patient tutors and a father who was a teacher I was able succeed and be where I am today. Students who are struggling in school often equate their performance to their self worth, I'd work to separate these two things. I want children to know that they are great and important no matter the score but at the same time, I want to work get their scores up while boosting their self esteem.
