I encourage students to actively participate in a tutoring session, making sure that their needs drive a session rather than my pre-planned agenda. Every student learns differently, and I have found that the greatest success is a result of playing to these strengths rather than fighting against them. I...

Outside of academic pursuits, I enjoy many creatively-focused hobbies, primarily writing, acting, and even juggling! I am thankful...
