Fun Facts

I am a very passionate, optimistic, and enthusiastic individual with many interests. I am a political junkie and can talk politics all day with anyone on a wide variety of issues. I also am very interested in theatre, music, sports, and various service ventures and have had many experiences in all of these areas. I am originally from the Dallas-Fort Worth area and I currently reside in North Carolina although I will soon begin school school in Massachusetts. I am the oldest of four children.

About Me

I am a rising Freshman at Harvard University and I just graduated from Cape Fear Academy as the Valedictorian and student body President. I have held various leadership positions on a local, state, and national level in NC YMCA Youth and Government along with many other organizations. I plan to major in molecular biology along with Government and Economics on the premedical route. I want to eventually become a neurosurgeon and to go into public service to serve the community.

Experience

In high school I have had numerous opportunities to boston">tutor and mentor children. I also as a member of national honors society had the opportunity to boston">tutor peers and younger children in various subject areas. I had the chance to serve as an assistant teacher in the fourth grade class at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in the faith formation class for two years. I also had the chance to volunteer and mentor children at Sunset Park Elementary school which was an underserved school in town.

Approach

In my elementary and early middle school years my parents emphasized the importance of not only memorizing the content but thoroughly understanding how to apply the content. More importantly, I have learned that 70% of mastering material has to do with the attitude one has. As a result, as a boston">tutor I will emphasize enjoying the process of mastering material. I will be one to not just teach a students how to memorize but rather help the student make associations that will aid with comprehension.
