Currently, I lead post-production on a documentary web...

Although I enjoy and have experience teaching a vast array of subjects (especially during my time at a graduation lab at Irving High School), I...

...in instilling a passion for lifetime learning to my students. One way I instill this passion is by being a model lifetime learner for my students. For instance, when I teach, I will often demonstrate inquiry by asking questions alongside students to get them to think and generate their own ideas. I believe that every child can reach their learning potential with high expectations and goal-setting, the necessary support and opportunities, and a caring environment.

I am pursuing my graduate degree in nursing from the University of Calbaptist in Riverside. I am looking forward to bring illumination and comprehension to the young students I have the privilege of tutoring.
