I learned to overcome many challenges through trial and error, and I love the way that my brain thinks differently than others'. I have taught students with ADHD for five years, focusing on working memory, self-monitoring, prioritizing, task initiation and organization. By using a student's strengths to support their learning styles, I have helped many become academically successful.

About me: I am a UCSD grad where I studied conceptual and visual arts, concentrating on performance art. I was the Varsity 8 coxswain on the Women's Rowing team, competing at the NCAA level.
