Experience
I have over 7 years of paid tutoring experience that began during my undergraduate career at Western Kentucky University. As a Peer Tutor at The Learning Center on campus I worked with students on their Math, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and English coursework on a daily basis. I also helped students develop basic study and organizational skills to set them up for success in all courses. Within the Center I consistently maintained the highest monthly tutor utilization rates, and was awarded Most Outstanding Tutor. Apart from this experience I served as a Teaching Assistant and Peer Tutor in the Physics Tutoring Center during my senior year. As a Teaching Assistant I sat in on lectures and assisted the professor when necessary. I conducted class in his absence and offered regular exam reviews. Any students needing additional assistance met with me one-on-one to identify and correct trouble areas. Upon graduation I continued to privately tutor individuals that sought my assistance. I have worked with elementary, middle, high school, and college aged individuals all with differing needs in various subjects, though the bulk of my experience remains in math and physics. Currently I am tutoring two high school students in Pre-Calculus and two non-traditional university students in their Trig/Geometry/Pre-Calculus courses. In addition to my tutoring experience I find it relevant to note that I have also worked in higher education as an Admissions Counselor in the Honors College at Western Kentucky University. In this role I not only met with prospective students, but redesigned the application process and assisted in the selection of the incoming class of Honors students.

Hobbies
My hobbies include yoga, jogging, dancing, camping, traveling and listening to live music. I just returned from a 13 month stay in Accra, Ghana where I completed my Master of Public Health and research on factors influencing HIV testing and counseling uptake in the region. Before this I lived in rural Kenya for seven months working on thesis research for my undergraduate studies in domestic rainwater harvesting. My next adventure is just around the corner as I plan to head down to Lima, Peru over the holidays.
