About Me

Since graduating from the College of William and Mary, I have worked as a professional tutor, delivering high-dosage academic remediation to at-risk high school students enrolled in the Chicago Public School system. In conjunction with teaching, I am a developing health professional whose fervor for academic reform stems from my belief that eliminating the education gap is a critical step in combating widespread health disparities, promoting individual health and well-being, and ensuring the future prosperity of all Americans. I received my Masters in Public Health from the George Washington University, where I conducted and published research on strategies to improve the quality of U.S. healthcare. I approach all instructional opportunities with a growth-mindset and the personal mission of generating increasingly well-rounded, analytical thinkers who are better prepared to handle the intellectual and behavioral challenges posed throughout life-long education. Although I hold all individuals under my tutelage to rigorous standards of achievement, I have been frequently praised by supervisors and students, for finding an ideal balance between strict and compassionate. Outside of the academic realm, I also have professional experience instructing and training individuals in the areas of health education, athletic performance (primarily soccer and cross country), and emergency preparedness (CPR, First Aid, AED). I believe that success in any helping profession, from healthcare to primary education, requires the ability to meet people where they are with what they need. Over the years, I have worked hard to hone this ability and demonstrate a relentless flexibility in my instructional approach and teaching methods, always catering to the unique learning needs of each student. Feel free to contact me with any general questions, requests for additional information regarding my qualifications or experiences, or to schedule a lesson. I look forward to helping you accomplish your academic and extracurricular goals.

As an education professional, it is my duty to boost student achievement by meeting individuals wherever they are in the learning process with whatever tools and support they need to succeed. I firmly believe that every student is capable of demonstrating academic excellence when provided adequate support. Accordingly, I aim to foster a growth mindset through instructional methods that reward student effort and steady improvement.
