I graduated from the University of Richmond in 2012 as a PPEL (Philosophy, Political Science, Economics, and Law) major, with a concentration in economics. I was awarded a Fulbright grant for an English Teaching Assistantship in Malaysia for 2013, before which I worked as a Kaplan tutor. After my assistantship I worked as an office associate for Teach For Bangladesh, an education nonprofit modeled after Teach for America. I have recently come back from Ghana where I created and ran an adult literacy and numeracy project, and I am currently volunteering with the YMCA to help ESL students from local elementary schools with their homework and other skills they may need to work on.

In general, I believe that as a teacher it is my responsibility to understand how a student learns, what concepts they have mastered, and what concepts they still need practice with, and then work to address those needs. I tutor a wide range of subjects, including math, test prep, reading, writing, and more. As an IB Diploma graduate from Henrico High School, I am also familiar with the demands of the IB curriculum. My favorite subject to tutor is English, since it allows students wide berth to get creative. Outside of school, I enjoy drawing, music (I used to play the cello), and especially cooking. I also love swimming and reading, and when inspiration occasionally strikes, writing.
