I graduated from Seton Hall University with B.S. in Biology and plan to matriculate to medical school this summer. I have found that in college, even the most frustrating of classes can be made ten times better when the professor has flexible office hours, demonstrates enthusiasm for the subject, acts as an empathetic listener, and adds a bit of humor to lower the stress of an otherwise difficult subject. I try to bring this type of teaching style to my tutoring approach, making it my priority to connect to those I tutor and cater to their unique style of learning. I usually begin lesson plans with a fun and engaging introduction to the subject matter before a more explicit lecturing onto related material and practice. I always make sure to give students time to ask questions and practice the material at their own pace. Furthermore, I am extremely flexible to adapting my teaching style to the particular needs of each student.

Beyond providing free tutoring to my colleagues at Seton Hall to aid them in their college-related coursework, I have thorough leadership experience in student mentorship and advocacy, empowering Seton Hall students to achieve their highest potential. As Co-Founder and Co-President of Health Occupations Students of America-Future Health Professionals, I run pre-health professions workshops, community health and service initiatives, public health campaigns, and certification training such as CPR certification classes for Seton Hall students. I also Co-Founded and am acting Chair of the Advising and Career Counseling to Empower Students for Success (ACCESS) Initiative for the Dean’s Undergraduate Student Council. In this role, I lead workshops to support students to achieve their academic and career-related goals. Through these positions, I have shown initiative to help support the students around me as well as have further strengthened my skills in being an empathetic listener and motivator for them to succeed.
