Education
I graduated from Yale University in 2013 with a BA in History and Distinction in my Major. I ran Varsity Track and Cross Country all 4 years and earned Academic All-Ivy Distinction, with a 3.66 GPA. After Yale I worked for an experiential education company that offered a gap year program and after school programs. These programs helped students find their career interests; and learn through non-profit and business internships and travel. I also worked at an outdoor preschool and tutored elementary aged students. In 2016 I graduated from Lewis & Clark with a Masters in Teaching and endorsements in Elementary - Multiple Subjects and English for Speakers of Other Languages. I graduated from Lewis & Clark with a 4.0 GPA.
Experience
Elementary School Teacher Tutor for Elementary and Middle School Students in NY, CT, OR 2240 on SAT, 2008 As a teacher I love being a part of the learning process and sharing that experience with others. I am particularly interested in guiding high school students to write their college essays and making this seemingly challenging task an exciting and fulfilling experience.

Hobbies
I enjoy spending time outside and being active - hiking, running, biking, yoga, swimming, you name it! I think moving your body outside brings great peace and re-invigorates you! I also love reading, painting, drawing, craft making, cooking, gardening, and learning new skills. I am a certified yoga instructor and like to bring in my appreciation for short meditation into my teaching practices when students are also interested in this. I think these exercises are especially helpful in the writing process. I look forward to getting to know your student and what they are passionate about!
