Experience working with special education students, English language learners, gifted/talented students, and homeschooling students of all ages, as well as experience tutoring college students.

Hobbies
Reading is one of my favorite hobbies, and I enjoy a variety of books at all levels from children to adult. I also like to write poetry, draw, and paint. Right now I'm learning to play guitar; my favorite music is jazz. I'm also an avid hiker and hike every weekend. My favorite sports are baseball and soccer. I love to travel, and I've lived and traveled in Europe and India. One of my life goals is to speak Spanish fluently--and I'm getting there!
