What is your hometown?

I have lived in Cornelius, Oregon, my whole life. 

 

What hobbies, sports, or interests light you up?

My hobby that has been keeping me sane has been building and collecting Lego botanical.

 

What is your specialty as a tutor? What topic, problem, subject, or process do you most enjoy helping students to learn?

My specialty as a tutor has been creating practice problems and throwing in surprise questions to keep students on their toes, especially in biology sessions. 

 

Which of the CLASS 5 Keys – Respect, Inclusion, Growth, Support, and Pizzazz - resonates with you the most and how do you put it into practice in your work as a tutor?

Inclusion has been the key to resonate with me the most, and I always want to make sure as a tutor that students feel welcome and involved in their learning. 

 

What is your best advice for students on how to get the most out of their academic experience in college?

The best advice that I can give is just get it done now if you have the time -- it will pay off later. 

 

Give us a movie quotation, song lyric, or line from a book that will motivate us in our learning?
