INSTRUCTOR PROFILE:
I’m originally from Colorado, but after living in Arizona for over a decade, I proudly call it home. I attended high school in the West Valley before earning my bachelor's degree in Secondary Education with a focus on Biological Sciences from Arizona State University. I have extensive coursework in science and math (up to Calculus III) and am currently working toward my master’s degree in education.
With a decade of combined experience tutoring and teaching across diverse educational settings, I have developed a flexible, adaptive approach to learning. My background spans tutoring writing, teaching a range of science subjects at both the middle and high school levels, and contributing to professional development initiatives. I have worked one-on-one with students as well as in classroom environments, which has enriched my ability to support every learner’s unique needs.
I love being a teacher because every student brings their own perspective to the classroom. Building strong relationships based on trust and respect is my top priority, and I strive to connect with each student through my passion for science—igniting curiosity and a genuine love for learning.
When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll usually find me hiking with my dog or camping off the grid. One of my proudest achievements was completing a rim-to-rim hike in the Grand Canyon! I also enjoy getting creative with crafts, experimenting in the kitchen, swing dancing, practicing yoga, and spending quality time with family and friends.
I am excited to support students in a range of subjects, with a special focus on math and science. I also offer enrichment services, executive functioning support, study skills coaching, and general homework assistance to help each student succeed.
