Fun Facts

I once went to nine national parks, a national preserve, and a national monument all in three weeks! It was the road trip of a life time. As well, I like to knit, do aerial dance, make crafts, and write.

About Me

I'm a second year neuroscience major at Santa Clara University. I'm on a pre-med track with the plan of going to med school and becoming a neuropsychologist. I'm also a coxswain on the women's rowing team!

Experience

As a junior in high school I gave input into the development of a tutoring program for elementary school students. I tutored with this program for two years, primarily in elementary math and English. I also co-founded a program for first through third grade students struggling with their reading ability. I led a group of students weekly in fun activities to boost their reading and writing skills.

Approach

I've found that the source of many of mine and my peers struggles stem from being overwhelmed both by workload and the initial fear of new concepts. I tackle this issue by using a methodical and logical approach. My approach is to teach students to analyze what they do know instead of focusing on what they don't. This helps students to be more confident in their own abilities and minimize unnecessary stress.
