For 7 years I've helped my parents homeschool my younger siblings, passing on skills and information from my time attending early college. This includes essay writing, efficient textbook reading, researching online and in libraries, and discovering what study methods best helped them succeed in their subjects. As French Club President I was responsible for tutoring club members and visiting lower level French classes to practice with them and encourage their interest in the language. For the last 3 years I've been tutoring freelance in my community and have realized how much I love helping young students improve and grow to enjoy school.

Received an A.A. French degree with honors in 2020 and am currently pursuing a French B.A. and History minor, as well as a teaching certificate to eventually become a teacher.
