...me with the French Department "Excellence Award". My passion for tutoring started as I started helping students with french in sixth grade!

...what I "wanted to do with my life" so I did my first Bachelors degree in "Social Sciences with a minor in Chemistry". The chemistry minor fell into place as i did a pre-medical track with that degree. After working as a Nursing Assistant for two years I decided my heart was in working in Nursing and not Medicine.

...I transferred as a college student after high school. I think the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong ambition and something beneficial to everybody. That being said I also strongly believe that going to a 4-year college right after high school doesn't have to be the only route you can take.
