What is your hometown?

Hillsboro, Oregon


What hobbies, sports, or interests light you up?

Dance, baking, and hanging out with friends/family. 


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

I enjoy most math problems to help people with because of how it really makes you think about which equation to use and such. 


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?

Out of the 5 keys we have the one that resonates with me the most is support; I think that it's important for us students to support one another and lift each other up. 


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

Don't only focus on the schoolwork. Go out and do fun things with friends. 


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