I am a dedicated, highly motivated individual with a passion for enhancing the learning experiences of others. I have taught as a classroom teacher and as a volunteer at state and national parks for the past few years. I focus particularly on highlighting connections between various subject matter to individuals' everyday lives. After I graduated with my Masters degree from Johns Hopkins University in 2014, I moved to New Mexico to pursue a career in environmental conservation. I currently work as a supervisor for an AmeriCorps program that provides opportunities for young adults to gain skills working in the field of conservation while also receiving training for personal and professional development. I aspire to become a ranger with the National Park Service and a freelance writer.

Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

My teaching philosophy is to meet students where they are. I believe that in order for students to gain a deep understanding of subject matter, they must be able to understand their relationship to it. When I teach, I encourage students to explore ways in which the subjects that they are studying are relevant to their lives.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

I would begin with some simple introductions so that we can each know a little bit about the other person's personal, educational, and work background. I would then ask the student what he/she would like to achieve through the tutoring that I provide. I would ask how the student likes to learn and strategies that the student has already used for studying the subject matter that I will be tutoring. Then, I would begin going on the specific assignment that the student has prepared for the tutoring session.
