Fun Facts

Born in California but raised in Oregon. due to this split I have been one to oscillate between these two lovely states.My California side has influenced me to love the setting of sunny beaches. As for my Oregon roots, I experienced the ever long stretch of nature and amazing hiking trips.I completed majority of my education in California and was on the high school baseball, track, and football team. Out of the three, I had most my success in Track and competed at the regional level for the 400.

About Me

I am a third year mechanical engineering major with a minor in aerospace studies at Fresno state.I am a member of the National Society of collegiate scholars and the air force ROTC program. My career goal is to obtain my bachelors degree and commission as an air force officer. Later on, I plan to go back and work for my masters in engineering and intend to teach at a university level later on in my career.

Experience

During my first year of college, I tutored a small group of college students for algebra. In addition, I was given the opportunity of being apart of Fresno states Supplemental instruction program where I gained valuable skills in hosting and tailoring study sessions to be more creative and fun yet compelling to the student. I enjoyed this because my students had a positive impact learning chemistry.

Approach

Throughout my educational experience, I learned that teachers who were supportive and positive had more of a positive outcome compared to other teaching styles. With that in mind, I plan to take this approach and experiment with it. As a madera">tutor, my motto will be to be positive even when my student is not and aid and push them through the tough times. Rather than, just throwing out answers I plan to walk students through the process that way learning the material is effective.
