What is your hometown?

Curtis, WA 

What hobbies, sports, or interests light you up?

I love reading, bowling or analyzing my favorite books and movies

What is your specialty as a tutor? What topic, problem, subject, or process do you most enjoy helping students to learn?

My specialty is elaboration. If you need your writing more information packed or just longer in general, I can help you get there. 

Which of the CLASS 5 Keys – Respect, Inclusion, Growth, Support, and Pizzazz - resonates with you the most and how do you put it into practice in your work as a tutor?

The key that resonates with me the most is growth. Growth takes both time and effort, but I love to see how much a person can grow their abilities and knowledge in a subject over the semester. 

What is your best advice for students on how to get the most out of their academic experience in college?

Take up any opportunities for extra help. It’s okay to not understand everything right away, and there’s people here to help you learn the best that you can. 

Give us a movie quotation, song lyric, or line from a book that will motivate us in our learning.
