I'm a 2016 graduate of Pepperdine University with my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. Currently I'm preparing to apply to optometry school; I hope to be accepted for the 2018-19 academic year. During my time in college, I was involved as a teaching assistant for General Chemistry I and II laboratory, as a tutor for General Chemistry I, as a member of the Regents Scholar Student Board, and as a "small group" leader through multiple organizations. I am a member of the sorority Pi Beta Phi and held the positions of Historian, Senior Transition Leader, and member of the Leadership and Nominating Committee during my undergraduate years. As far as tutoring goes, I offer my services to students of all ages and in numerous subjects. I particularly enjoy tutoring the STEM subjects. I also thoroughly enjoy working with female STEM students, which allows me to serve as a role model and to offer additional encouragement for my female students to not lose interest in STEM subjects. A large part of my tutoring style focuses on logical thinking for how to tackle new and difficult problems using previous knoledge and educated hypotheses; I have found that my students find both success and a boost in confidence using my methodology. Aside from my academic interests, I love cooking and baking, my cat, photography, and National Parks.

High quality education is my passion! From a young age I attended a gifted and talented Middle School, where compassionate and encouraging teachers nurtured my lifelong love of learning. In High School, I was enrolled in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program in addition to multiple AP courses. Thanks to my supportive teachers, classmates and tutors, I was able to graduate High School with a perfect 4.0 GPA as Valedictorian of my 700 person class. All my life, I've wanted to foster that same level of passion for learning to everyone I meet. I graduated Pepperdine University in Southern California with dual degrees in International Business Administration and Economics with a concentration in Finance. I tutored all throughout my university career, working with my college peers as well as high school and middle school students. I especially love to work with students on fundamental math concepts that often get rush through in traditional classroom environments. It's my passion to get my students passionate about math! I'm eager to find out how I can best work with you to make learning fun and easy!
