Hi there! I'm a college student studying public health and passionate about education equity and supporting others. I joined Schoolhouse to help make learning more accessible and to give back by helping students feel confident in subjects they might be struggling with. I'm especially excited to create a welcoming, encouraging space where everyone can learn and grow at their own pace!
