"I am currently studying Elementary Education at the University of Minnesota and have a passion for teaching through meaningful, hands-on experiences in both classrooms and leadership roles. I have supported young students in developing foundational math and literacy skills, worked with small groups, and helped children build confidence as learners. I have also taught in a preschool setting, where I gained experience designing and delivering lessons. In addition, I have served in a leadership role at a summer arts camp, helping oversee programming, guide apprentices, and support staff. These opportunities strengthened my ability to adapt instruction to diverse learning styles and reinforced my commitment to education as my career path.

Beyond the formal classroom, I have worked in leadership and tutoring roles that highlight my ability to engage with students of different ages and backgrounds. I taught hockey to children in grades K–3 through an after-school program and have consistently led activities in camp settings, where I guided apprentices and created engaging experiences for younger participants. These roles taught me the importance of patience, encouragement, and structured support. My tutoring approach is centered on breaking concepts down into manageable steps, celebrating progress, and helping students feel confident in their abilities. I specialize in tutoring math through Algebra 1—including pre-algebra, fractions, ratios, percentages, and problem-solving strategies—as well as reading at the elementary and middle school level. I am dedicated to creating a safe, encouraging space where students can take risks, grow, and discover their strengths." less...
