Since graduating, I've been working as teacher, helping elementary- and middle-school-aged children in all subjects. I've also tutored at the college level, focusing primarily on essay writing. Through all of my experiences, my favorite subjects have been early-level science and upper-level writing. I'm a strong believer that education can be fun, and address learning with a sense of humor and a positive attitude. My approach to learning tends to be very communication-based, and often driven by how the client I'm working with feels they learn best. As a result, I tend to provide structure and guidance in a more flexible learning environment. When I'm not helping to educate others, I am working on my wicked dance skills and improving my fluency in German. I'm a bit of a glutton for new information, so I spend a lot of time reading and picking up diverse skills, like archery and basic auto maintenance. I also love spending time outdoors in any capacity, especially hiking and camping; one of my long-term goals is to visit all 59 of the US's national parks!
