My philosophy is that true learning lies in grasping concepts rather than simply memorizing content. I seek to constantly hone my learning strategies to reflect this. This has allowed me to tutor my peers efficiently throughout High School and College, on everything from standardized tests to biochemistry finals. I am currently a rising Junior at the University of Oklahoma, majoring in Biology on a Pre-medical track. I am on a full academic scholarship and an active participant in the honors program. My enjoyment of learning for its own sake has been a main driver of my academic success. I approach life with a smiling, energetic attitude, a mentality that carries over to my tutoring. Outside of school I love being active and outside as much as possible. My best days are filled with music, friends, and new experiences.
