Fun Facts

Family is one of the most important things to me and I have a pretty large family. My favorite things come from family traditions and interest. Although I am a woman I am a huge sports fan especially football,volleyball,and gymnastics. I've also always had an interest in performance arts and music.

Experience

I've worked in education since 2005 working in after-school programs as a tutor/mentor,running my family's in home family daycare,and most recently being able to tutor foster youth one on one.All the students in which I tutored reached their academic goals within 6months, and all long term daycare clients have gone on to achieve academic success at satisfactory to advanced levels.

Approach

I believe children growing up in this generation have the potential to be great leaders, entrepreneurs, doctors, or whatever they want to be and more. I strive to build their confidence and excitement to learn so those things can manifest in their future. I understand everyone learns differently and aim to appeal to each individual student and their learning style. Additionally I serve as a mentor and support for both students and parents, as well as provide organization and testing strategies.
