Danielle Claudia Snali

My goal is to use my experience teaching in university and secondary school settings to develop a career that allows me to help students at all skill levels prepare to succeed in higher education. My objective is to help students advance their abilities and build self-confidence by connecting them to proper academic resources on campus, working with them on their written and/or oral communication skills, and helping them ultimately succeed in higher education.
