I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where I majored in Anthropology with a focus on Archaeology as my field of choice. I have always had a great love for history and am currently trying to turn that passion into a career. While studying at UT Austin, I had the opportunity to tutor and work with children as part of a summer program at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. Recently, I have been working for Berkeley2 Academy as a tutor and preparatory class instructor for subjects ranging from SAT and ACT Verbal skills to US AP History.
