I graduated from the University of Washington in 1996 and traveled across the state to join the ranks of our "arch enemy" at Washington State University for graduate school in Speech-Language Pathology, completing my masters degree in 1998. It wasn't until about 2010 that I realized I have always been a coach. In middle school, I was a peer coach. In high school, I volunteered as a counselor at a nature conservation camp for 5th and 6th graders. In college, I began coaching football at the high school level. My studies lead me to working with elementary and secondary school students focusing on speech and language development. However, I absolutely LOVE teaching math. It's numbers that really show a young person's mind at work. My passion is helping others succeed. When the light goes on in a young person's mind, it brings a huge smile to my face. I simply love coaching others to success. In my spare time, I enjoy reading spy novels, cycling and watching sports.

I am a graduate of Washington State University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a focus on Journalism and Public Relations. While in college, I took the opportunity to study abroad in Spain for a summer, where I took three months of intensive language classes. My experience abroad allowed me to achieve a double major in Spanish Language Studies. Throughout high school and college, I volunteered for peer mentoring programs.I spent much of my free time tutoring students in English, Public speaking, and Spanish. I feel passionate about tutoring programs because growing up, I used them. Tutoring is an integral part in the learning process because every person learns in a unique way. People understand concepts differently and the key to making someone enjoy their education is to understand that they may think differently than what is taught in a standard text book.I try to encourage unique learning styles. I try to impart a new perspective for learning, as well as an appreciation for education to all of my students. Since graduation, I have entered the workforce in media relations. I started out as an Account Executive for a Portland radio station. I spent three years working on marketing campaigns for different clients and businesses. The job allowed me to hone my writing and public speaking skills. I now work as a Public Relations Coordinator for the technology company, FLIR Systems. I cultivate relationships with the media, write press releases and coordinate events. In my spare time, you can find me perusing Powell’s Book Store, enjoying the beautiful Portland scenery or running around my neighborhood.

PhD Washington State University

I am a graduate of Washington State University with a doctorate of philosophy degree in education. I have been working in education for more than 20 years. My experience includes tutoring, teaching, and program creation, development, and management focused on empowering students through education. My specialty is working with students who struggle in mathematics and writing. Through this work, I have helped numerous students who lacked foundational knowledge in mathematics learn the material to the extent that it opened career options for them and they ended up successfully going into STEM fields. Students I have helped with writing have improved their skills to the extent that they not only successfully completed their college degrees, but were able to get into graduate school and complete their degrees. For some of the students I have helped, I have even sat on their master's or doctoral committees. For you, the sky is the limit. I am here to help you to not only achieve your goals and dreams, but also consider possibilities you have never thought of. I look forward to working with you.

I'm a current graduate student and TA in mathematics at Western Washington University with a BS in Mathematics with Honors from WSU. I started out in Mechanical Engineering, but I realized through tutoring and teaching assistant positions that I really love helping students break through obstacles in their education, specifically in math and science. I firmly believe that math should never be an obstacle to any path someone may want to pursue in life, whether that be a college STEM education or simply passing pre-calculus. I also really enjoy helping with test prep and helping students learn the little tricks to get consistently high scores.

I am a current undergraduate student at Washington State University. I will graduate with a BA in Humanities and I plan on returning to either Washington State University or Western Washington University to get my post baccalaureate degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences. After earning my second BA, I plan on attending graduate school with the hopes of obtaining my clinical PhD and becoming an audiologist. I love learning and plan on attending continuing education workshops throughout my career. I have previous tutoring experience that ranges from tutoring students with learning disabilities to helping my fellow peers in college. I tutor in all levels of Spanish, English, Grammar, Reading, Biology, and Public Speaking. I currently work as a receptionist at a company in Portland and I feel very happy and rewarded at my job. In my personal time, I enjoy jogging and plan on running a half marathon some day. I also enjoy cooking as I am gluten-free and have fun experimenting with different recipes which sometimes turn into disasters. I love getting to know people and cannot wait to meet new faces and share knowledge!

BA in Professional Writing and Rhetorical Analysis. In essence, I have spent a LOT of time writing essays, learning how to dissect reading materials, and how to work through the difficulties writing commonly presents. From kids just learning how to dive into stories and how to communicate what they're reading from their growing brains to paper and pencil, to college students struggling to get an essay format down, I am here to help! Writing is like a puzzle, and I love helping anyone, any age, put those pieces together.

Educating students for over 10 years has been a privilege. Particularly gratifying is the opportunity to witness my pupils progress in mathematics. After teaching math for nearly a decade, I completed my graduate work last year in Educational leadership with a follow up credential in administration. In the past, my students in mathematics routinely have returned to visit, sharing their continued successes following what was learned as a member of my classroom. I want to continue to help children "get it" as they are called on to rise to new heights in an increasingly competitive academic and occupational climate. I have decided to continue within the Varsity Tutors platform with the goal of increasing the scope of students I can assist in their math skills development.
