Fun Facts

One unique thing about me is that I have no favorites!  Anytime I'm asked I can never give an honest answer to my favorite color, song or snack because I like too many and I like to try new things all the time.  I am the youngest of three and I have never left the East Coast.  I enjoy playing piano whenever I happen to be in the room with one even though I've never had lessons.  I have, however, had a few lessons in Spanish, which I hope to be fluent in.

About Me

I am a sophomore Engineering major at the Community College of Philadelphia.  I plan to finish my Bachelor's  degree at The City College of New York.  When I graduate I will work as a Civil Engineer and I hope to bring  knowledge of my profession into a classroom for elementary and middle school students.

Experience

In the past year I have been promoted to Head Teacher at an after-school program in Darby, PA under Episcopal Community Services.  In this position I provide a one-on-one environment for elementary students to discover academic strengths/weaknesses and set goals to ultimately improve fluency and confidence in math/literacy while introducing fundamental studies of science/technology and foundational Spanish.  Every day is an amazing experience helping them realize their potential.

Approach

I struggled through elementary school in most subjects, afraid to ask for help.  I often turned in my work late or incomplete.  However, my performance began to increase after my mother continuously encouraged me to use the resources at my school.  She started me in an after-school program and there and I learned that I was not the only one who needed help and there was no reason to be afraid to ask for it.  I aim to bring that message to students so that they can know success at an early age!
