About me

A lifelong learner, I spent most of my education being the student other students came to when they struggled. I have therefore had ample opportunities to learn what it takes for students to succeed. This has led me to instruct students in everything from Elementary school math to graduate school research projects. My specialties are Writing, History, Test Preparation, and Social Sciences. I strongly believe that the key to educational success is for students to take ownership of the material and to accomplish teachers to make learning personal. I strive to understand each students' unique strengths and struggles and tailor my presentation to their needs.

I earned my B.A. from Colorado College in International Political Economy. I have a Master of Public Policy from Pepperdine University and I am currently applying to Ph.D. programs in International Development and Foreign Policy.

Outside of academics, I am an avid gamer, both tabletop, and video games. I frequently travel, both for pleasure and for gaming competitions. I am also an avid hiker and mountain biker. When not working or gaming, you can find me wandering mountain trails.
