Although I hold an American passport, I was born in Hong Kong, lived in the Philippines, and attended high school in Canada.

About Me

I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins University, where I have just completed the second year of a three-year program. I have been inducted into the Chi Sigma Iota Honors Society with a 3.98 GPA. I previously graduated from Bates College with a Bachelor of Arts in both English and Psychology. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents and am deeply passionate about supporting their growth and helping them reach their full potential. Professors, peers, and past employers would describe me as dedicated, organized, and enthusiastic.

Experience

I bring a strong foundation of experience working with children and adolescents in both educational and mental health settings. Two of my most recent roles include serving as a therapy intern at MSA: The Child and Adolescent Center and a Mental Health Worker at NewYork-Presbyterian. My experiences also include being certified as a Crisis Intervener, experience in education/maryland/baltimore">special education literacy, an ESL tutor, and a health and wellness instructor. I believe in personalized student-centered learning.

Approach

Through my extensive experience working with children, I've been fortunate to witness the transformative power of individualized instruction and unwavering, encouraging support. These experiences have shown me that the most effective tutoring is student-centered, builds confidence, and fosters a supportive environment where students can truly thrive.
