About Me

I have always had a deep passion for learning; knowledge empowers the individual and elevates the collective. This is a major reason why I find mentoring others to be such a rich and rewarding experience. I am able to help others better connect to the true joys and fulfillment that can stem from learning, and in exchange, I have the pleasure of witnessing positive growth and transformation in young minds. Professionally, I have mentored and tutored children and young people of many ages. I spent two years during my undergraduate working for the Si Se Puede Learning Center where I tutored K-5 students in an underprivileged demographic and conducted fun and interactive lesson plans in math, literacy, science, and writing. I have also tutored middle school and high school students in several math and science disciplines through the National Society of High School Scholars. I earned a dual bachelor's degree in ecology and contemporary dance performance, while continuing to mentor and assist my peers. Although these fields of study may seem to lie on opposite and seemingly unrelated ends of the academic spectrum, I have found that they molded me into an equally rational and abstract thinker and creator. This complementary form of education has allowed me to connect with many different styles of learners, which has ultimately enabled me to mentor a diverse range of people in a way that is both genuine and adaptable. My academic background is most immediately reflected in the life sciences and maths, but I am always thrilled to tutor students in the humanities, particularly essay writing, and social studies. I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to mentor others in a way that cultivates their sense of curiosity and deepens their understanding of our collective reality.

Q&A with Sarah

The more effort we put forth in cultivating our minds, the more our perceptions of the world broaden and deepen. We develop a keener sense of self, while also developing compassion and understanding for each other and the environment. A lifelong pursuit of knowledge empowers us to become the best versions of ourselves, and I believe that the role of a mentor is a paramount to having success in this pursuit. An ideal mentor offers guidance and insight while also providing a supportive platform for students to follow their own curiosities and carry out their own investigations. Ultimately, the mentor is capable and confident with their knowledge reserve, but also receptive to learning from the student so that they may both work together to elevate the student's opportunities for success.
