I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Huntington University, where I graduated cum laude, and am pursuing a Master of Science in Psychology at Indiana Tech. I also earned an associate degree and a Human Services technical certificate from Ivy Tech Community College and hold the Certified Employment Support Professional (CESP) credential. My studies include psychology, human development, sociology, research methods, ethics, and communication.

For nine years, I have provided individualized instruction, coaching, and training, with extensive experience supporting individuals with disabilities and diverse learning needs. As a Project SEARCH instructor, I taught young adults through classroom lessons, hands-on activities, and one-on-one guidance. My work has also included adapting instruction, developing learning materials, and helping people strengthen organization, communication, problem-solving, and independent learning skills. I understand that students learn at different paces and may need different approaches to demonstrate what they know.

I especially enjoy working with high school, college, and adult learners. I offer tutoring in psychology, sociology, philosophy, ethics, academic and technical writing, essay editing, college application essays, public speaking, presentation skills, executive functioning, study skills, organization, and academic enrichment, as well as PSAT/SAT preparation and special education support. My approach is patient, collaborative, and strengths-based. I break complex ideas into manageable steps, use real-world examples, and adjust strategies to each student's goals. Whether a student needs help mastering a subject, improving a paper, or building more effective study habits, my goal is to help them gain skills and confidence they can use independently.
