Fun Facts
One fun fact about me is I am a very active person. I've been doing acro yoga for a year and a couple of months and just started to learn hula hooping including learning tricks. Additionally I just started doing lyra aerial hoop. I love challenging myself to different poses/ tricks in each of my exercises. Also I really love the outdoors including hiking and camping. I also enjoy thai massage and am learning it. Someday I hope to teach one of the activities I'm most passionate about on the side.
About Me
I am a graduate from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Gonzaga University. I have two degrees including a B.A. in Applied Communication and a MPH in Community and Behavioral Health. My ultimate professional goal is to either become a health education program specialist and work on various projects with different organizations or become a health coach and works individually with clients.
Experience
I have some recent experience tutoring. Recently I helped a graduate student with editing her thesis. I was also involved in the International Student Union club in college and helped international students learn English during an activity called conversational partners. As a person who really misses direct service and is extremely passionate about education, this job would allow me to develop skills in working more directly with youth and impact their lives, something I truly miss.
Approach
I've always been passionate about education and helping others. Tutoring has been a great outlet for me in terms of balancing personal interaction with data evaluation, my current temporary job. When I was younger I definitely struggled with certain classes because of the teachers or their learning style. I want to work with the student and be as encouraging as possible and help them gain the confidence they need to succeed in school.
