A Little Bit About Me...

I have taught middle school history in Santa Fe, led and organized dance competitions for middle school students in west Philadelphia, and spent a year teaching English as a second language in Taiwan for students grades 2-6. I am starting medical school in the fall. I achieved high scores on the new 2015 MCAT, and performed well in my premedical classes including biology, biochemistry, chemistry and organic chemistry.
I am clear, energetic, and provide students with lots of opportunity for practice.
