...feel hopeless and defeated in a class. It's a very hard place to be in. If I could keep just one student from feeling this way in their classes, it'd be worth it. I want to create a comfortable, judgement-free environment that holds space for all types of learning.

Building relationships with my students is the most important part of my job. I love getting to know each and every one and figuring out how to make learning meaningful to them.

...keep to myself. I feel joy when I share things I learn with others.

During my undergrad, I worked as a French tutor in one-on-one settings, as well as a teaching assistant for a French course, independently leading a weekly class...

I love working through problems and helping students understand concepts, not just individual problems. I believe...
