Dana
Certified Tutor
I excel at communications, both written and verbal, as well as organization and study habits. I also very much enjoy working with individuals to prepare for standardized tests, including college admissions tests.
I also have experience as a job coach for adults in a local GED program. In that position, I helped individuals to craft resumes and practice interviewing techniques. That position allowed me to work with individuals to develop a long term career plan that would help them achieve their goals.
In undergrad at the University of Illinois, I completed a degree in International Business and Marketing, with a minor in French. I then went on to get my Master's Degree in Public Administration at Cornell University. While there, I interned with both local and federal governments, which taught me how to write and communicate to a variety of stakeholders. I have also worked for several nonprofits and a Fortune 500 real estate firm as an analyst.
I am current serving in the federal government in a policy analysis role, and I enjoy tutoring on the side!
