Experience
I worked for the University Tutoring Center during my undergraduate career at the University of Nevada, Reno. I was a Supplemental Instruction leader for a philosophy class with a high fail rate. I led 4 discussions per week, and conducted two-hour long test reviews before exams. I was also a substitute teacher in the Washoe County K-12 system, and therefore have experience working with all ages of students. I want to tutor because I love explaining things in different ways, dialing in a student's learning style, adapting to this style, and seeing students progress in the subject itself and in their confidence. I am currently a Teaching Assistant for the Core Humanities program at UNR. I love having a part in students' progress and developing trusting relationships with them to aid in this process.

Hobbies
I am a long distance runner (I just completed my 17th marathon!). I also LOVE to bake (I tend to give my baked goods away, because I have a terrible sweet tooth). I also play guitar in a band with my sister. I love being outside on the trails, exploring new cities (I've lived in Europe twice, and worked as a nanny there), and getting to know new people and cultures to enrich my own life.
