I am passionate about helping students achieve greatness, and this passion has driven me throughout my academic and professional journey. I have a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Geoscience from Georgia State University, where I've developed a deep understanding of the earth's processes and environmental systems. Throughout my education, I've realized that the key to truly supporting students is not just in sharing knowledge but in recognizing that each student has a unique learning style.

As a tutor, I specialize in ArcGIS, Earth Science, and AP Environmental Science. I've witnessed firsthand how tailored guidance can unlock a student's potential, whether it's by breaking down complex concepts in a way that resonates with them or finding new ways to engage their curiosity. My philosophy of teaching centers around the belief that no two students are alike, and therefore, no single approach works for everyone. I strive to create a personalized learning experience that meets students where they are, helping them build both confidence and competence in their studies.

Effective communication is at the heart of my teaching strategy. I focus on developing a strong rapport with my students, ensuring that they feel comfortable asking questions and exploring difficult topics without hesitation. This creates a learning environment where they can thrive, ask questions, and explore subjects with enthusiasm. My goal is not only to help students succeed academically but to inspire them to continue their journey of learning with confidence and passion.

Hobbies

Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I have a deep passion for music and the outdoors. I am a musician at heart and enjoy playing several instruments, including the piano, ukulele, and guitar, as well as singing. Music allows me to express myself creatively and brings a sense of joy and balance to my life. Whether I’m jamming with friends or playing solo, I find that music provides a perfect escape and a way to connect with others. In addition to music, I have a love for outdoor activities. Hiking, biking, and just about any outdoor adventure are ways I recharge and find inspiration. I cherish the opportunity to explore nature, whether it’s a challenging hike through the mountains or a leisurely bike ride through a peaceful trail. These experiences keep me grounded and energized, reminding me of the beauty of the world around us.
