"I've built my background around helping people feel more confident with finance, especially college students and adult learners who may be coming back to the subject after a long break. I earned a Master's degree in Public Administration and a Bachelor's in Accounting, and those programs gave me a solid understanding of everything from financial statements to budgeting and forecasting. More importantly, they taught me how to explain these ideas in a way that feels approachable rather than intimidating.

Most of my tutoring experience has been with learners who are juggling real life: work, family, school, and just need someone who can break things down clearly and meet them where they are. I've worked one-on-one, in small groups, and online, helping students get comfortable with concepts like time value of money, Excel modeling, and basic investment principles. I try to keep things practical and conversational, using real examples and step-by-step explanations so the material actually sticks.

I enjoy working with people who might not see themselves as finance people at first. My goal is to make the subject feel less overwhelming and to help students build skills they can use both in class and in their everyday financial decisions. If I can help someone go from confused to confident, that is the part of tutoring I find most rewarding." less...
