I know how to knit, crochet, cross stitch, and sew, as well as can do almost any other craft. I also enjoy baking for friends and listening to music.

About Me

I graduated in May 2013 from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Art History. Originally from New Orleans, I received most of my education at all-girls private Catholic schools, where I was active in Student Council, Spiritual Life, and National Honor Society.

I have tutored high school students in most of the Math and Science classes, particularly Algebra I and II, Biology, Chemistry (AP), and Physics.

I push my students to realize their great potential and to understand the benefits that can be reaped from hard work.
