As an IB graduate, I found great love in the opportunity to have deep, meaningful conversations full of different perspectives, foster intellectual curiosity, and develop critical thinking. My passio... n to be an intellectual thinker grew and having support helped me become the person I am today and fostered my success as a student and individual. read more

Hi! My name is Lauren, and I'm a rising sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington pursuing a degree in Psychology, with a double minor in Neuroscience, and Medical Humanities. I've... been a mentor and advocate for students since high school, which has been a driving force for me when tutoring and has become a part of my identity. I created a program that helped students struggling to build peer relationships and open the minds of those who may not recognize what is going on around them. Additionally, I was an ambassador who helped 8th graders register for classes and helped freshmen navigate their first year of high school. I'm still an ambassador for my university's study abroad programs(something I had the opportunity to do), I mentor international students, and I work as an ESL tutor with international students. My experience and love for English and reading, as well as being an IB student are all subjects I am passionate about and focused on. It is my goal to give students a comfortable, safe space to improve and hone their academic skills and use them with confidence. Feel free to reach out to ask me any additional questions, and I look forward to working with you!read more
