I gained my BA in ecology and mathematics from Lewis and Clark College (LC). In my career, my passion is focusing on the intersection of math and forestry, as a means to fight climate change. While a student at LC though, I built on skills in tutoring. I was a TA in both math and ecology classes, and learned how to help students with homework/lab assignments thoughtfully, so they could come to conclusions on their own, rather than being spoon-fed answers by me.

I gained my BA in ecology and mathematics from Lewis and Clark College (LC). In my career, my passion is focusing on the intersection of math and forestry, as a means to fight climate change. While a student at LC though, I built on skills in tutoring. I was a TA in both math and ecology classes, and learned how to help students with homework/lab assignments thoughtfully, so they could come to conclusions on their own, rather than being spoon-fed answers by me.
After college I continued to pursue tutoring via jobs with both Mathnasium and Sylvan. I have worked with kids ages K-12 on all math concepts from kindergarten math to SAT math prep and college readiness pre calculus. I have found that lifting up students confidence in their abilities really helps them learn. My goal is to encourage student confidence and independence by starting lessons with more structure, and then slowly removing that structure over time until the student in fully independent with a concept.
