Certified Tutor
I'm currently working toward my law degree at the University of Richmond School of Law after earning my Bachelor's in Communication Studies with a focus on advocacy and public affairs. I love tutoring because I enjoy helping students build confidence, not just in the material they're learning, but in how they think, solve problems, and approach challenges.
I've worked with students on LSAT prep, U.S. History, and other social science subjects. When it comes to the LSAT, I focus on making the test feel less overwhelming and more like a puzzle that can actually be fun to solve. Whether it's breaking down Logical Reasoning arguments or working through tough Reading Comprehension passages, my goal is to make the process clear, manageable, and even enjoyable.
U.S. History is another favorite subject to tutor because it's packed with real stories, people, and ideas that shaped the world we live in. I try to help students see the bigger picture and understand why history matters.
My tutoring style is patient, flexible, and focused on helping things "click" in a way that feels natural. Every student learns differently, so I adjust my approach based on what makes sense for them whether that means breaking things down step by step, asking the right questions, or slowing down to build confidence along the way.

Degree: James Madison University - Bachelor's, Communication Studies
Outside of tutoring, I’m a big basketball fan (go Warriors!) and I love spending time outdoors, whether I’m running or just enjoying fresh air. Music is another passion of mine; I play piano, I’m learning guitar, and I’m always listening to something new. I’m also a huge U.S. history nerd, especially when it comes to early American politics in the Young Republic era. As a James Madison University alum, I gained a unique perspective on the legacy and influence of James Madison’s political philosophy and how it shaped the U.S. Constitution, a topic I’m still deeply fascinated by.
