View Profile

Hello everyone! I am passionate about supporting students in their academic journeys. I can assist with lower-level math courses, from Pre-Algebra to Pre-Calculus, as well as SAT prep. However, my specialty lies in college advising, helping students with personal essays for scholarships and university applications. I love helping students recognize their full potential by exploring opportunities that align with their goals. My passion for mentorship began in high school, and I have continued to pursue it throughout my undergraduate journey. I'm excited to join the Schoolhouse community to share my experience, mentor students, and make a positive impact!
