I am a happy person who is optimistic about the future, proud of the achievements in my past, and humbled by the help I have received along the way. I am currently a student who is excelling academically in doctorate level course work; however, I have also been in the shoes of a struggling student who needed extra help to master difficult subject material. The most important lesson I have learned through my academic career is to believe in my self and have confidence in my ability to learn. I want to pass this knowledge and experience on to other students, and help them unlock their full potential not only in academics but in life as a whole.
