Being in such a rigorous program enabled me to bond with my classmates, who I would have the remainder of my undergraduate career, on another level of education: independence and trust. Each of us would gather after class and on the weekends to help each other study, or tutor each other in topics we didn't quite understand. This not only built my confidence as a teacher, but as a student. I'm a firm believer that anyone has the capability to learn anything - it's dependent on how driven you are as an individual to learn. Some things may not come too easy - this isn't something to feel inadequate about. We've all been there, myself included. If you have the passion to learn something in order to achieve a sought after goal, then you can. It would be my honor to serve as assistance to those who wish to learn more, solely because I am that person myself. Teaching and seeing the impact of understanding on my students' faces' gives me the utmost happiness. My ultimate goal is to become a physician - specifically orthopedic surgery or hematology!

I enjoy hiking, reading poetry, biking, horseback riding, drinking coffee, cooking (I cook almost every night!), and spending time with my canine best friend who got me through college, Rox!
