About Me

I recently graduated from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa with a B.A. in Psychology along with a minor in German. Since graduating high school, I've made it my mission to align myself with work that gives me the opportunity to help students realize their potential. As an individual who grew up in a low income single parent home, I know first hand what a good education can offer. I am part of the first graduating class of the Partnerships in Unlimited Educational Opportunities Program (PUEO), a nonprofit educational summer program, that awards students-with-potential free college prep courses from sixth grade to their senior year of high school at Punahou School. After my first year of college, I applied and was offered a position at PUEO to work as a teaching assistant. Since then, I've taught English, Film, and Magic to rising middle schoolers every summer, and I loved every minute of it! I've also served as an administrative assistant and part time tutor at a tutoring company for two years, aiding students from 4 to 17 in subjects like: SSAT Prep, ACT/SAT prep, and general tutoring. I've also worked with students who have been diagnosed with some form of learning difference. Much of my time with the tutoring company included not only me being responsible with administrative duties, but also the tact to help students find their own learning styles. My goal is to give my students the confidence to be risk takers. To take challenges in stride and find connections with what they're learning to what they love. I am a tutor who welcomes mistakes and questions.
