Certified Tutor
I have long been a proponent of a connection-driven tutoring approach that stands to support a student not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. Over my years working as a peer tutor, Grade 1 teaching assistant and lifelong advocate for my own learning-disabled and special needs brother, I've seen firsthand the power of positive rapport-building in fostering all-around student confidence. Additionally, having graduated as my high school's Salutatorian in 2023 and accumulating over 3,000 hours of community service between grades 9-12, I understand the importance of pursuing a well-balanced lifestyle that allows a young person to succeed academically, socially and emotionally. As a tutor, I strive to create an environment in which all students feel confident in striving for their full potential inside and outside of the classroom setting. Through this approach, I hope to leave a measurable impact on young learners and foster an immeasurable love of learning for years to come.
I recently completed my A.S. Degree in Sustainability Science, while also pursuing an interdisciplinary study approach across a variety of subjects. I am proud to have graduated with highest honors, including a perfect 4.0 GPA, Frank M. Chambers Award for Academic Excellence, and Highest Academic Achievement Award for the Natural Sciences Department in Sustainability. Outside of the lab, I have enjoyed enriching myself with all that my school community has to offer, striving to create a positive impact on those around me as my campus' Ambassador to GivePulse, a national organization designed to promote community service in higher-education settings, and Chapter President of Phi Theta Kappa. I am also an active member of the Psychology Club, the National Society for Leadership and Success, and volunteer time with the Advocates for Students with Learning Differences group, where I hope to bring meaningful connections and lifelong friendships to my disabled peers.
This fall, I will be transferring to Cornell University's Environment and Sustainability Undergraduate Program, where I will concentrate in Environmental Policy and Governance to prepare for a career in Environmental Policy Management.
