I love being able to help students achieve their goals even if they don’t seem achievable at the time. I want to make a positive impact on every student I help and make them build confidence in themselves. I want students to be engaging in their work and I want it to always be enjoyable for them.
What do I like to do on my free time? I love anything outdoors, traveling, going to concerts, spending time with my family and I love cooking/baking.
I am so excited to be able to do what I love by helping and making an amazing impact.

With more than 10 years of experience in community outreach and five years of teaching, I understand the importance of empathy, relationship building, and communication when working with youth. My journey as an educator has taken me from tutoring high school students one-on-one in English, reading, and writing, to teaching first- and second-year university students at Mae Fah Luang University in Chiang Rai, Thailand. I have also worked as a community advocate for over a decade, serving immigrant and refugee families in Salt Lake City and Logan, Utah. As a community advocate, I connected families to local resources, led and organized young female empowerment programs, interpreted for Spanish-speaking families, and helped youth with the college application process.
My experiences in education and community outreach have deepened my belief in the importance of an education. I’ve seen firsthand how personalized learning can build a student’s confidence and potential, especially when they feel supported and understood. Tutoring allows me to combine my love for teaching with my passion for empowering young minds. Empathy and compassion are the foundations of my teaching philosophy as I aim to create a warm, engaging space where students feel comfortable learning and participating in activities. I am eager to make a meaningful impact on each student’s academic journey and personal growth by helping them discover their strengths.
