I hold a B.S. in Psychology and an M.A. in Counseling Psychology, and I am passionate about helping students build confidence, develop skills, and achieve their academic and professional goals.

From 2023–2026, I taught and guest lectured in university classrooms, working with undergraduate and graduate students ages 18–25. My teaching experience spans introductory freshman courses through professional and doctoral-level clinical coursework, with class sizes ranging from 15 up to 200 students. I strive to make complex concepts approachable by adapting my teaching style to each student's learning level and encouraging active engagement with the material.

In addition to classroom instruction, I have provided one-on-one career development coaching, helping students with resumes, cover letters, graduate school applications, networking strategies, mock interviews, and career exploration. My individualized approach focuses on identifying each student's strengths while building practical skills and confidence. Through this work, I’ve helped dozens of students secure internships, jobs, and graduate school admits.

Previously, I served as a teaching assistant for a university leadership studies course, where I independently managed a group of 12–15 students in collaboration with other TAs. My responsibilities included lesson preparation, content delivery, grading, conducting entrance and exit interviews, and providing individualized support through one-on-one meetings.

My teaching experience began in 2017, when I was in high school and took an elective to tutor 3rd and 4th grade students in mathematics at an underserved elementary school. This experience taught me to meet each young mind where they were at, tailoring interventions to provide more support or more autonomy as needed.

Whether working with elementary students, college students, or graduate learners, my goal is to create a supportive learning environment that fosters understanding, critical thinking, and long-term success.

Approved Subjects

College Counseling

College Counseling

Through my career development work, I have guided students through the college and graduate school admissions process, helping them identify programs that align with their academic interests, career goals, and personal values. I have supported students with application planning, personal statements, resumes, interview preparation, and decision-making throughout the admissions journey. My approach emphasizes helping students clarify their goals, present their strengths effectively, and navigate the process with greater confidence and less stress.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I have extensive experience helping students prepare for academic, graduate school, internship, and job interviews. Through individualized coaching and mock interviews, I help students develop clear and compelling responses, effectively communicate their strengths and experiences, and build confidence in high-pressure situations. I also provide feedback on interview etiquette, professionalism, and strategies for answering both common and challenging questions. My goal is to help students feel prepared, authentic, and confident when presenting themselves to admissions committees and employers.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have worked with students on personal statements and application essays for college, graduate school, scholarships, and professional opportunities. My approach focuses on helping students identify meaningful experiences, articulate their unique strengths and perspectives, and develop a compelling narrative that reflects their authentic voice. I provide guidance throughout the writing process, including brainstorming, outlining, drafting, and revision, while offering constructive feedback on content, organization, and clarity. My goal is to help students craft essays that are both impactful and true to who they are.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

I have extensive experience in research writing across both undergraduate and graduate-level training, including independent studies in which I designed, conducted, and wrote up original research projects. My work has involved both quantitative and qualitative methods, including data collection, analysis, and interpretation across different study designs. I have authored two first-author publications and contributed as a co-author on six additional peer-reviewed papers, including two that were developed from my colleagues’ theses. My experience spans all stages of the research writing process, including literature review, study design, data analysis, and manuscript preparation. I support students in developing clear, well-structured, and academically rigorous writing that aligns with disciplinary standards and effectively communicates both quantitative and qualitative findings.
