I am currently a freshman pursuing a bachelor's degrees in Music Performance and Cognitive Science at the University of Evansville. I graduated from the rigorous Signature School, which is consistently ranked among the most challenging high schools in the nation. At Signature School, my classmates and I had to work together and support each other academically to succeed in the challenging courses we took. From this, I developed a passion for teaching and helping students in classes with which they struggle. As well, I have several younger siblings who I often help with schoolwork. My goals when teaching are to guide students to an understanding of the material, help students develop confidence in their ability to learn any subject, and give students the cognitive skills to think critically and synthesize information.
