I am a passionate and dedicated lifelong learner that especially loves the collaborative/dialogic learning process. I believe we may fundamentally strengthen our critical thinking, amongst many other skills, through teaching/demonstrating/facilitating.

The following skills, abilities, and values are why I am a versatile and effective academic support agent:

>I can easily connect ideas and patterns across many disciplines

>the way I have learned to contextualize new content to be more personally relevant (more effective memory consolidation) can be used as a frame of reference in assisting other's make personally relevant connections

>ability to access creative and abstract methods of problem solving

>most importantly my belief that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' method to learning
