I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

I am a proud graduate of both the University of Georgia and Georgia State University. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Health Promotion and Health Education, followed by a Master of Science in Exercise Science with a focus on Health Promotion and Fitness. I also completed a Graduate Certificate in Public Health. Since then, I have added a couple of professional certifications to the mix, I am a certified ACSM Exercise Physiologist and a Certified Health Education Specialist.
Over the past 8 years, I have built a solid career in higher education. I spent 4 years at Georgia Tech, where I designed the lab curriculum for over 226 undergrad students in the Applied Physiology department. I also taught "The Science of Physical Activity and Health" as an adjunct lecturer and supported students through weekly office hours.

After that, I transitioned to Georgia State University, where I spent more than 4 years applying my expertise in exercise science and health promotion to the world of learning and development. I have designed and led virtual and hybrid trainings for student instructors and student trainers, using adult learning theory to make the content both engaging and effective. Along the way, I have gained hands-on experience in instructional design, learning theory, and creating accessible educational materials.

I am excited to bring all of these experiences together to create a tailored learning experience for you. In my free time, I love checking out local festivals, reading psychological thrillers and sci-fi novels, doing outdoor yoga, hiking, and cheering on my kid at soccer games.
