Fun Facts

I am the middle child of nine children and have lived in eight different states. I absolutely love singing, especially show tunes! I graduated number 20 out of 650 students in high school and competed in social studies competitions. The one thing I am passionate about more than history is my church. I love joking and am fluent in sarcasm as a first language.

About Me

I am currently a history major at Brigham Young University-Idaho and had previously been a Business Administration major at the University of Texas at Austin. I pursued business as a major simply for monetary payoff but could not deny my passion and love for history and so after serving a mission for my church, I switched universities as well as schools! I desire to either teach history or go to law school after I complete my undergrad at BYU-Idaho.

Experience

I am currently working for a second semester as a substitute teacher and as such have had the unique opportunity to teach multiple subjects to students of all grades and backgrounds, most of the time with no preparation. Throughout high school I had started study sessions with about 30 people in attendance which I led preparing for AP testing, specifically in World, US, and European History.

Approach

My approach varies from student to student. If I had learned anything from tutoring my friends and working as a substitute teacher, it's that every student is different. Generally, my first interaction involves a standard textbook approach with asking what they know and what the student is confused on. However, I have learned to use unique approaches utilizing multimedia such as creating videos, writing scripts, and creating projects based around historical events.
