I am a recent graduate of the University of Arizona, with two degrees: a BS in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science and a BSHS in Physiology. In the future, I hope to continue schooling and become a Physician’s Assistant.

Throughout my scholarly career, I have tutored a wide variety of people ranging from my younger siblings, underclassmen, and fellow classmates. Besides helping my two younger siblings with their homework, I often helped fellow classmates work through problems in General Chemistry, Algebra, Statistics, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus 1. In my last year at the U of A, I preceptored for 2 classes (NROS 310 and PSIO 201), mentoring other Neuroscience and Physiology majors in their respective courses.

Due to my science-heavy coursework, I am most comfortable with tutoring in Mathematics and Biology but I believe I can also be an asset with essay revision and other writing skills. Having participated in various research projects throughout my undergraduate career, I have learned to write for a variety of audiences including but not limited to doctors, scientists, and the general public.

When tutoring, I believe in patience and perseverance. Sometimes it can be difficult to learn a new concept, but if you keep trying to look at the problem in a new way sooner or later those neural pathways will start forming and you’ll become a master of the subject! Making a topic humorous is usually my best way of figuring something out, but I can help you find your own way as well!

At the U of A, I was the treasurer of the Quidditch Team for 2 years and a Beater/Chaser for 4. Now that I have graduated, however, I spend my free time volunteering at a clinic for children with varying disabilities. I also enjoy making digital art, sewing, and crocheting stuffed animals.
