As a PhD student studying educational psychology, I am passionate about evidence based ways to not only support students' academic outcomes, but also socio-emotional outcomes like motivation to learn, value of learning, confidence in one's academic ability, and growth mindset.

In 2023 I graduated with a BAS in Early Childhood Education. Part of my degree requirements included work as an assistant teacher in K-3 settings, tutoring experiences for ages 4-18, online teaching, and experience as a full time in home caregiver to children ages 0-11. These experiences provided me with experience to test out the evidence based teaching practices I learned in my degree program.

I also graduated with a BA in Psychology. As a psychology major, I had the opportunity to expand my teaching skills as I was a Teaching Assistant for a psychology statistics class where I held weekly tutoring sessions. I also learned more about learning across the lifespan and the importance of motivation, engagement, and mindset.

Diversity is important to me. I have worked with neurodiverse learners such as those with ADHD and autism. I am also comfortable with working with children with other disabilities including physical or developmental. I also have worked with children with diverse gender identities such as non-binary and am happy to support learners' preferred pronouns and identities.
