Experience Summary
I have a Bachelor of Arts double major in Criminal Justice and Sociology from Florida Atlantic University. After this endeavor, I continued my learning experience by becoming a Firefighter/EMT in order to help people. I understand the importance of balancing personal, academic, and employer needs. I have the ability to prioritize these interpersonal relationships through effective communication. I have worked with students and student/athletes through tutoring/mentoring programs since I was in seventh grade. I have been tutoring all ages in most subjects from elementary to adult general education. I have served in leadership roles selected by employers, coaches, and mentors. I have also been elected to leadership roles by peers. My education inside and outside the classroom has improved my ability to relate to people from different backgrounds. I have experience bringing individuals together through commitment to a common goal.
Teaching Style
Growing up as an elementary school teacher's daughter, I was exposed to many different types of learning styles. This has enabled me to relate to each and every one of my students in some way. There is no greater joy than the smile on a student's face once they have actually "got" something that I have been trying to teach them. Positive thinking and perseverance are the two most important steps in the successful student.
My Hobbies
Basketball, Volleyball, Reading, Swimming, Pilates, Meditation
