About Me

I have been passionate about education since my time as a teaching assistant during my undergraduate education. I earned a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Missouri in 2009, where I majored in Sociology. During my time at Mizzou, I tutored peers as part-time employment, and had the opportunity of being an undergraduate teaching assistant. After graduation, I joined Teach For America and taught middle school math for three year for Memphis City Schools. I am certified to teach all middle school subjects. As a teacher, I planned curriculum and lessons, teaching over 200 students and earning the highest possible teaching rating. I also conducted after school tutoring, where I tutored all middle school subjects. My students worked hard and were able to accomplish an average of 1.5 years' growth in one academic year. After three years in the classroom, I decided to further my own education. For a time I considered law school, and it was during this time that I studied for and took the LSAT, scoring in the 90th percentile. After this experience, I tutored several teachers who hoped to improve their LSAT scores. Ultimately, I decided that nonprofit work was the correct path for me and I went on to attend Saint Louis University, where I earned a Master of Public Administration. Since graduating in May of 2015 I have been working for Teach For America as a Specialist in Alumni Leadership. I have also had the pleasure of coaching new math teachers during our summer training program. I have years of teaching and tutoring experience, and am excited to empower each student I work with to invest in themselves and stretch their knowledge. Specifically, I love to tutor math and test-prep (ACT and LSAT), where I can help students realize that a subject or task that once seemed intimidating is possible to excel in. I look forward to working with you.
