About Me

Greetings! I recently graduated from the University of Tulsa with my Master of Arts in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rutgers University in 2014. Training and teaching have always been a passion of mine, and that's why I'm here. My tutoring, teaching, and mentoring experience traces back 5 years. I was a mentor and tutor for the Rutgers Future Scholars program when I was at Rutgers, which involved working with students in 8th through 12th grade on reading, writing, math, science, and also things like professional development, job searching, college preparation, and standardized test preparation. During my senior year at Rutgers I also worked with another program called Ignite, which was another collaborative program between Camden city schools and Rutgers University. My responsibilities with those students involved after school tutoring and facilitating outside recreational activities. Those students were in 4th through 8th grade. For the past two years during my graduate studies, I was an academic counselor at the University of Tulsa's Center for Student Academic Support, where I worked with at-risk students and students with disabilities on skills such as time management, organization, study habits, and procrastination. I also helped some of these students with standardized test preparation, mostly for the GRE because it is what I'm most familiar with. My experience has covered the gamut of all demographics. I have worked with students as young as 4th grade all the way up to adult, non-traditional students. I have worked with students of all different backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses. I take an individual, student-focused approach to tutoring in order to ensure that the student is learning and making progress at their own pace and that they are comfortable with the material. Preferences/specialties as far as subjects go are most certainly reading and writing, college essays, study skills and organization, and statistics. As far as hobbies go, I'm originally from the East Coast, so I'm a football, baseball, and hockey fanatic, I like crossword puzzles to untangle the cobwebs in the morning, I've hiked the Appalachian Mountains, and I also like playing guitar (although I'm not very good at it yet).
