Fun Facts
I can't roll my r's :(
About Me
I am a recent alum from Bowdoin College, an elite liberal arts collage in southern Maine. I graduated with honors in Religion and a minor in Sociology. These two concentrations explore a plethora of topics pertaining to the humanities, which makes me capable and eager to helping you learn about topics ranging from English literature to quantitative statistical analysis!
Experience
I am currently working in City Year Boston, which offers students in-school support and tutoring in core subjects. Besides this, I graduated with honors in part because of my ability to work in groups and pairs to better understand challenging topics and come to fruitful explanations and conversations.
Approach
As a first-generation student, I have always been an independent student. The best way that my professors and teachers were able to help me was by challenging my own expectations of what I can do while explaining subjects in clear ways. This often meant for me lots of visuals and metaphors as well as multimedia examples of phenomena, such as watching documentaries or YouTube videos in conjunction with in-class and out-of-class conversations.
