Hello! I am a third year biology student from Boston, Massachusetts looking to help students reach their potential. I am a Marist alumna and am very familiar with this area. I try to create an environment that is both productive and fun for students. Let's work on reaching your personal goals together!

My parents instilled the necessity of always having the appropriate tools for every task. For our sports activities, my Dad spent endless amounts of time researching the sneakers, cleats, helmets, ballet shoes, and cheerleading pom-poms that were to accompany my brother and I. Since there was no internet, we shopped from store-to store to ensure that our equipment would give us the best possible input to our performance. Not rich by any means, our parents felt that it was worth the expense in order for us to perform at our peaks.It is with these thoughts in mind, that I have approached my career as an educator. I see education as a tool for life. It allows students to be better performers in a variety of ways, not just academically. The well-educated student has been trained to have a positive impact on his community and to be socially sound.Therefore, it is this awareness that prompted my decision to become a Varsity Tutor. The vetting process, alone, proves that VT believes that the proper tools ensure peak performance. Rest assured that I will be instrumental in this vision of the well-educated student.

It is not only my dream, but my God-given gift to be a servant to others. In particular, interning in the legal profession would allow me to continue my commitment to ridding homelessness and eradicating unequal education for all students. I feel confident that I could contribute substantively to this program while strengthening the skills Ill need for my career. As an elementary school teacher for Teach for America, I was able to see how various practices disproportionately affect students of color and without equal education, life as we know it, in essence, can never be truly equal.For two years, I have worked at the United States Veterans Administration Domiciliary for Homeless Veterans. One veteran (whom I grew to admire) thanked me for simply listening to him vent about being proud of being drug and alcohol free for six months. He specifically indicated that our conversation gave him the gusto to attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that dayone in which he served as the group leader. This experience revealed to me what I already believedthat people are inherently good. We simply need the right set of circumstances in front of us in order for our best selves to shine. And every once in a while, some of us need second chances.Since my career goals are vested in civil rights and equal opportunity, and discrimination generally, I have facilitated various presentations for homeless veterans, parents, school workers, and students on their rights and opportunities to advocate for themselves. This semester, I was elected as the 1L Section Representative and joined the Child and Youth Advocates, situations which have exposed me to the work lawyers can do to promote the rights of students. Additionally, joining the Women of Law has kept me updated on the issues facing female minority students. My work as Section Representative continues to keep me advocating for my peers on issues that affect us as we matriculate through law school. This experience has begun to give me experience in working with people, and working with your company would allow me to gain experience advocating for the specific client populations I hope to assist in my career.Given my background in education and talent for leading students, instructors, and teaching teams toward success, I feel I am in a great position to make a positive impact your company. I would be very happy to work on cases dealing with language or national origin discrimination, but Id also be delighted at the opportunity to work in any of the areas on which your office focuses, including LGBT and disability rights. I am eager to have the opportunity to work for this program and work on issues that enhance our country. I hope that you will humbly accept my letter and consider me for opportunities that may come.
