About Me

I am a third-year student pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in Human Development and Psychological Services and Psychology at Northwestern University's School of Education and Social Policy. Before coming to Northwestern, I had the privilege to grow up with good teachers under a rigorous IB curriculum in Shanghai, China, granting me access to quality education that I know many of my peers and other students across the world do not have. Thus, my hopes to combat education inequities, utilize my experiences with multicultural/special education contexts, and be continually inspired by students in addition to offering them the personalized support they deserve is what drives me to work with students. I've guided students with special needs aged 3-14 through summer program activities in Shanghai, coordinated an after-school program for K-12 refugee students in Chicago, and interacted with secondary school students in Jinja, Uganda. Since my first year in college, I've worked as a tutor for a morning program in an elementary school in Evanston. I have the most experience tutoring Elementary School Math and Reading and the most content knowledge in Psychology, though I am also passionate about helping students with ACTs/College apps due to having myself navigated through the system's challenges recently. In addition, I'd be happy to dive into Mandarin Chinese as it is another native language I speak. From my tutoring experiences and taking classes within the Learning Sciences, I find it important to listen to student needs and interests while maintaining encouragement to challenge themselves in the spirit of learning, and be a source of emotional support in addition to providing knowledge. In my spare time, I love reading, playing the guitar, having conversations with people of all different backgrounds, and traveling locally or abroad to experience different cultures.
