Fun Facts

Not many people know that I am an avid painter and a huge Carolina basketball fan. In my free time, I like to make acrylic paintings. In college, I was known to sell some of my paintings to afford tickets to the UNC-Duke basketball game.

About Me

I am currently a medical and office assistant for Affiliates in Plastic Surgery. I hope to work with this company until the summer, when I will move to attend medical school. I attended UNC Chapel Hill for my bachelor's degree, then Georgetown University for my masters degree. My ultimate goal is to become a pediatrician.

Experience

I tutored my fellow high school students at Salisbury High School, and quickly learned that I enjoyed tutoring others. In college, I was a chemistry mentor for two years, teaching review sessions in both general and organic chemistry. Although I have mainly worked with people my own age, I am eager to work with middle school and high school students. I have found that many of the skills I learned were enhanced after I finished learning a particular topic.

Approach

I have learned from my failures, and realized that many students I tutored in the past made mistakes very similar to mind. As a result, I made sure to point out common errors when leading review sessions. As a tutor, I will attempt to teach students how to understand concepts, but also show them why common errors are made. With these skills and encouragement, I believe all students can succeed at every subject they enroll in.
