Experience
I earned my bachelor's in biology concentrating in research at Gonzaga University. After graduation, I began traveling the West coast to work alongside a variety of education and research organizations. I worked at a Nevada wildlife refuge as a docent. I taught during what watch cruises around California. I participated in outreach in Washington State to encourage educational achievement. I primarily tutor students in test prep, science, and English literature. My academics focused heavily on logical and analytical thinking and writing skills. I can work one-on-one with students to identify the concepts that are giving them the most trouble, identifying a solid plan to improve their understanding and ability. I have the speaking skills needed to use various explanations to ensure that each student is able to thoroughly grasp the information. I am adept in tutoring for the ACT and GRE standardized exams. I can teach students valuable test-taking strategies or review the material, whichever is most needed. When I'm not tutoring, I love to hike, particularly around the Pacific Northwest region. While in nature, I watch and photograph the wildlife in their natural habitat. I enjoy playing music, both covers and my own songs. I love board games with my friends.
