About Me
There's nothing I love more than sharing in a "lightbulb" moment with a student I'm working with and I will do all I can to support, tutor, and guide you through your academic pursuits. I am a graduate of Bradley University where I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology (minor in English Literature). I also have a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Concordia University Chicago. I have worked with students in a variety of settings (both in-person and virtual) including serving as a Corps member with Illinois Student Assistance Commission where I helped students navigate the college admission process. My current role is in career advising at Northwestern University where I advise undergrad students in resume writing, cover letter writing and other job application steps. My education and experience have prepared me to advise in a variety of subject areas including English, Psychology, Clinical Mental Health, Literature, writing skills and college/career advising. I believe in helping students identify their strengths and to empower anyone I work with to recognize what they're already doing right in their academic journey so that we can better identify new areas to work on. In my free time, I enjoy theater, my SPENGA workout classes and trying new coffee shops and restaurants.
