What is your hometown?

Scottsdale, Arizona 

What hobbies, sports, or interests light you up?

I play on the Pacific softball team and love all things biology and chemistry! I love to listen to Fall Out Boy and Blackpink! 

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

As a tutor my goal is to get you to understand the curriculum in a way that makes you confident to apply it in exam and in real world problems. As a Bio and Chem student I have had my fair share of difficult problem sets but I have found twice as many solutions to my problems by changing the way I study. 

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?

I resonate with the key of support as I believe the most important thing in studying is learning where you are at and building from there using your resources. Everyone has different experiences that allow us to look at a problem differently, but by using our support systems we can view these different angles and assess what is the best way through a problem.  

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

Use your resources! There are so many great resources on campus that you pay for with your tuition. Take advantage of them! 

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

"Your fear of looking stupid is what makes you feel stupid. Smart people look stupid all the time. That's what made them smart."
