What is your hometown?

Friday Harbor, Washington

What hobbies, sports, or interests light you up?

I'm a competitive swimmer and I have been since I was 4.

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

The language as a whole. I love to help them start to understand the language, as it is known to be one of the easiest languages to learn but it is used by almost 3% of the people in this country. 

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?

Respect is one that resonates with me the most, as I value respect the most. I've always tried to be respectful of others, even when people don't show me the same. I use this when I am tutoring, as I believe that no matter how you are doing in the subject, I respect those seeking help.

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

Ask questions if you have them. You are paying this tuition and it will be a waste if you stay quiet and don't ask questions. It may seem like you are the only one with questions, but there is a 99% chance that you are not. 

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