Fun Facts
I have been dancing since I was five years old and it remains to be one of my passions to this day. I also enjoy long walks to parks where I continue to swing even as a college student.
About Me
I am a sophomore Organizational Communication major in Leadership and Global Sustainability minoring in Elementary Education, Spanish, and Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management. I am very involved in my campus community and am also the sophomore Class Representative for the Honors Program, while teaching may not be my focus I love helping others, forming relationships, and serving as a role model.
Experience
As an education minor at the portland">University of Portland I have spent at least 36 hours either in a classroom or at a Boys and Girls Club every semester thus far. I have mainly worked with second and third graders and find that I love spending time in the classroom. I also taught two classes for the incoming Freshman from September until November about how to college and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Approach
Teachers owe every student in their class the same chance to succeed. It is the teacher’s job to find the unique gifts in everyone that walks through the classroom doors and it is their job to help the students realize their own importance. Teachers shape the next generation by playing a role in how students view themselves and by setting the students’ own limitations. As a portland">tutor I want to bring this attitude to our sessions to help students recognize their own strengths and to empower them.
