In Peace Corps, I worked for three years in Swaziland as an HIV educator and English instructor. What I have learned in my years of tutoring and teaching experience is that it is really important to meet people where they are. Everyone learns differently, and I consider it my responsibility to adapt, research and do my part to find something that works well for each of my students. My experiences have taught me that for teachers and tutors, there are no results without patience and flexibility. My favorite subjects are Chemistry and Latin, and I am enrolled in Calculus and Biochemistry this semester. In my spare time, I walk in the Arboretum, play video games and deal with my medical school applications.

Reading, travel, poetry, citizen science, games of all kinds (board, video, tabletop)
