My objective for becoming a teacher is to help students to learn and grow. I wish to establish a long-term career in dedicating my time and knowledge to helping students become successful members of society. It is my goal to work with students to establish confidence in them and abilities for them to use throughout their school career and further on in life.I have studied at Saint Vincent College since 2011. I graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology Education in 2015, a certification in Early Childhood Education (PreK-4) in 2016, and am currently finishing up my Masters of Science in Special Education (PreK-8) for graduation in August of 2017. I completed my student teaching at Southmoreland School District where I was introduced to Daily 5 and how to prepare students for PSSAs. I have worked one-on-one with students who have been diagnosed with Autism and other disabilities. I taught Emotional Support at a small, private school outside of Washington, Pennsylvania.I love working with children and have done so almost my entire life starting with teaching Sunday School at my church up until my recent graduation and beginning of my own teaching career as a substitute. I enjoy seeing students succeed and have fun while learning. My favorite subjects in school included Language Arts and Science. I work as a substitute teacher in three school districts near where I live.In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family and friends. I love to travel and experience new things. I believe that there are endless possibilities and new things to be discovered! I have a passion for reading books and horseback riding. I love animals, dogs and horses especially. I have two brothers, one older and one younger than me.I am married and have three Dachshund dogs, one boy and two girls. Their names are Charlie Brown, Noelle, and Chloe. I like to spend some of my free time playing with them. My world evolves around my family and friends and pursuing my dream of becoming a classroom teacher. In order to achieve my dream, I try and accomplish as many tasks as possible. It is important for me to continue to grow and learn so that I am always up to date with the way that my students learn. As a teacher, I will always be a learner because everything constantly changes.

I am going into my senior year at Saint Vincent College with a major in chemistry. I love learning and enjoy sharing knowledge. I tutor chemistry and general science as well as German, English, college application essays, and essay editing. I like to make concepts fun to learn, with memes if I can (they make it way more enjoyable).

I received my Bachelor's of Science degree from Saint Vincent College in 2018, and am currently a third year student training to be a veterinarian at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.I have ample experience in STEM subjects like biochemistry, biology, and mathematics, but am also very passionate about writing, reading, and more! As evidenced by my history of Liberal Arts education, I believe having an understanding and appreciation across a wide variety of fields, not only STEM, is crucial to developing a holistic worldview.In college I tutored a variety of subjects in biology. I have informal experience tutoring colleagues and friends in biochemistry, mathematics, and more. My favorite subjects to work on are biology, preparing for standardized tests, academic essay writing, and college application essay writing.I was raised in the Montessori method of learning, which highlights independence, creativity, collaboration, and working with others to collectively develop our strengths. The method consisted of classrooms with a range of student ages, to encourage older students to teach the younger students. So, I've always been comfortable with helping others learn, and finding individualized ways to work together to achieve a goal.My teaching style involves a lot of examples, repetition for comprehension, and advice from personal experience. I'm happy to work with any age group.

I'm a college student at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. I am in my junior year of a computer science degree. Outside of classes, I work as a college tour guide, IT technician, and camp counselor. I love working with young people to plan for and achieve success, especially as it pertains to test and college prep. I have been working with young people from an early age, at summer camps, church groups, and as a part of my college's admissions department. I am ready to adapt to every student's unique learning styles and habits, and I hope to see my work inspire a boost in performance and confidence for many.

I frequently prepare college students for the GRE general test and MCAT. I have taught the GRE 5-Week Prep Class, the MCAT 5-Week Prep Class, and the MCAT 10-Week Prep Class. I also tutor students in microbiology, cell biology, molecular biology, AP biology, and general high school biology. During teaching sessions, I combine traditional lectures with interactive discussions and practice problems.I taught various lectures and labs in general biology, medical microbiology for nursing students, and molecular biology at the University of Mount Union from 2015-2021. I earned a Ph.D. in molecular biology from The Pennsylvania State University in 2014.

I have always had a passion for learning and teaching science, particularly biology, chemistry, and mathematics. My earliest mentoring experiences were during my time in Boy Scouts as I had the opportunity to teach younger scouts important skills as I earned the Eagle Scout Rank. After high school, I attended Saint Vincent College where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Certification in Biotechnology. In college, I was an Opportunity Program tutor for a high school student preparing for the AP Chemistry Exam. Regarding college students, I served as a note taker for the General Biology course, a tutor for the Cell Biology course, and a tutor for a Biochemistry course for graduate students. After college, I attended the University of Pittsburgh for graduate school and earned my PhD in Cellular and Molecular Pathology. During graduate school I was a mentor for a junior high school student in a summer program and helped her design and execute a research project examining a genetic knockout mouse model. I also served as a teaching assistant for first year graduate students in a Biomedical Sciences Intro course and first year medical students in a Histology course. Currently, I am a postdoctoral research fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School where I am continuing to perform biomedical research. When I am not in the lab, you can find me exploring historical sites and hiking outdoors.

I love working with people, especially young people. I have been so inspired by the creative professionals in my life, and I am uplifted by the opportunity to teach others based on my experience. I hope to provide all of my students with knowledge, guidance, and inspiration.I have been passionate about writing and making videos for over a decade -- since high school. I look for every opportunity I can to create something new in the mediums.I have a degree in Communication and English from Saint Vincent College and I am currently a writer/director for a non-profit audio theatre company.

I am a graduate teaching fellow and PhD candidate in literary and cultural studies at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA. As an instructor, researcher and student, I focus primarily on Victorian, transatlantic, fantasy and children's literature, although my research interests are even more varied and stretch to include gender, composition, modernist and animal studies. Although I spend part of my time at Duquesne continuing my education, my most rewarding experiences come from my time as an instructor and writing center consultant. I have spent the past year instructing first-year students in their core English classes, where I used both classic texts and young adult fiction to help engage all of my students. The students used these works of literature to untangle the relationship between fantasy and reality, while also honing their writing, critical thinking and research skills for their future classes and eventual careers. I also had the opportunity to work with faculty members, upper and lower classmen and ESL students in the campus' Writing Center. As a consultant, I helped clients to revise and proofread their work while also helping them to learn how to use the writing skills for themselves.Previous to my acceptance at Duquesne University, I earned my Master of Arts in critical and cultural studies at the University of Pittsburgh. As a student at Pitt, I worked as a graduate student researcher with the Learning Research and Development Center. At this prestigious institution, I had the opportunity to learn and gain exposure to the Center's plethora of educational research, in addition to acting as a teaching assistant, proofreader and researcher. While I completed my master's degree, I also worked with numerous students on the critical reading and writing portions of the SAT, although I also frequently worked with students on college entrance essays and classwork. I began my post-secondary education by completing my Bachelor of Arts in English with a secondary education certification at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA. I also graduated magna cum laude and I earned minors in biology and psychology.Although my time in the PhD program gives me ample opportunities to both instruct and learn, I have found myself eager to use even more of my free time to share my love of knowledge with others and learn more along the way. I have a deep passion for knowledge and discovery and firmly believe that they hold the keys to success for all individuals. My enthusiasm and ability to adapt to different individuals' needs allow me to make a connection with all of my clients and help them to not only meet their goals, but to enjoy the process along the way. I enter into all of my client interactions with the goal that I will always bring about a positive effect, which I accomplish by personalizing the sessions for each and every client and working to empower each client with the skills necessary for success and not just the correct answers.I have always loved learning; however, I have many other interests that supplement my professional life. I am a devoted wife to my husband of almost a year and devoted mother to our two Siberian huskies, Isa and Bogie. As a family, we love to spend our free time traveling, sight-seeing, hiking and visiting our extended families. We particularly enjoy visiting museums that focus on Ancient Egypt, paleontology, natural history, WWII, the Titanic and the Victorian Era. We are also passionate about animals and make conservation a large part of our travels, especially by helping with zoo and aquarium education efforts. When I am not enjoying the company of my family though, I read anything and everything that I can and enjoy dancing and playing the violin. Finally, as a true Pittsburgher, I am always rooting on the Pittsburgh Penguins, Pirates and Steelers.
