About Me

I am a junior at washington/seattle">seattle-pacific-university">washington/seattle">Seattle Pacific University studying chemistry. I hope to attend graduate school after college. I am interested in possibly being a professor or working in the food/beverage industry as a chemist.

Being in college has revealed to me how important these can be to academic success. Having discussions with peers and washington/washington/seattle">seattle">tutoring them helps both parties internalize the concepts. Beginning this year, I will be working with physics students in the classroom as a learning assistant.

My approach to washington/washington/seattle">seattle">tutoring is to ask good questions.

Open discussion is another activity that really enhances the learning experience beyond a textbook.
