Hi!
I am a current student enrolled at Ameritech University studying for a masters in nursing. I have a bachelors degree from the University of Puget Sound in Exercise Science in 2019, finishing with a 3.87 major-specific GPA. Currently, I am enrolled in a nursing program earning a masters in science and nursing.

In my undergraduate years, I worked as both academic tutor focusing on study strategies, organizational skills, and "the unwritten rules of coming to college." My work here included working with students with varying learning abilities, as well as the implementation of a training course on tutoring students with a learning disability. Additionally, through the same department I worked as an academic tutor for the Exercise Science Department. I tutored primarily anatomy and pathophysiology students, but also for biomechanics, neuromuscular adaptations, scientific writing, and nutrition. My biggest drive to being a tutor was the fact that when I took anatomy, I found in so much more helpful to be able to bounce ideas of another person, tutor or not, as it helped me learn missing information as well retain learned information! The classic sentiment of, "If you can explain it to someone else you can explain it on a test," really rung true for me, so I felt passionate about giving students the same space and opportunity to practice their anatomy skillset. My methodology of tutoring revolves primarily around finding new and creative solutions to learning the material. Specifically with anatomy, if making lists doesn't work trying to draw brain diagrams, if that doesn't work then finding another way. While I was in class, I found that I learned the material best when I was up and moving, so having a whiteboard I could write on while standing up was crucial, I love finding these little habits with students!

Currently, as a nursing student I am flexing my anatomy brain constantly! It's great to take the learned information from anatomy and apply it to clinical skills.
