About
I graduated from the University of Puget Sound in 2022, and am pursuing a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I am passionate about learning, and love working with people with all kinds of interests. I... love to learn about the diversity of the human experience! I am comfortable working with middle-schoolers, high-schoolers, and college-aged learners in a variety of subjects. My areas of interest are psychology, neuroscience, biology, research methods, and disability studies. I am also experienced in academic writing including literature reviews, research proposals, and APA-style write-ups.
I have experience working with learners with a wide range of disabilities, including autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. I would love to help make education accessible to all. Through tutoring, I hope to help learners identify their strengths and develop techniques to accommodate their challenges. I am very compassionate, flexible, and fun. I love to understand how people learn best and help make information digestible! My tutoring sessions are a place where students can relax, be themselves, and understand the material in a new light.
Outside of academics, I love pottery, music, and working in my sketchbook. I often use art to understand complex topics and would love to incorporate it into our sessions. Overall, I am an enthusiastic person who loves learning for learning's sake!read more
