About Me

I am a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, BA in Philosophy (2014), and I am currently enrolled at the University of Washington's Master in Teaching Program, Secondary English. In the past few years, my work has been almost exclusively in educational settings with youth. I spent five summers at a summer camp devoted to social and environmental justice, working with all age groups and doing everything from managing a day program to leading extended backpacking trips. I spent a year working as a wilderness therapy field guide, helping students achieve a breakthrough in their personal lives in a backpacking setting in central Oregon. And I was an instructor at an outdoor school in southern California for a year, teaching science, leadership, and outdoor education classes. Not to mention my tutoring experience--in college I tutored high schoolers in all subjects, from math and science to text prep and history. As a Masters candidate for a Secondary English teaching degree, I am most passionate about tutoring English and History, and my high scores on the ACT (36), SAT (1570), and GRE (169) certify my aptitude for tutoring toward standardized tests. I love working with youth, especially high school students--so much that I've devoted my life to it! And I am committed to educational equity, helping students from all backgrounds and with all abilities achieve their goals. When I'm not working with youth or in class, you can find me climbing, hiking, or curled up with a good book.
