With over four years of teaching experience on Outschool and two years of teaching English online to children in China, I have a passion for teaching and learning. I hold a double major in Psychology and Criminal Justice and have been studying Greek mythology for several years. Additionally, I have been teaching math for several years and have completed the Calculus series in college. I have always been gifted at math and view it as the most magical language of the universe. Currently, I am back in school pursuing certifications in Network & Security as well as Cloud Computing.
My love for learning is evident in my approach to teaching. I believe that hands-on learning is key, as learners retain more knowledge by doing rather than just watching. My teaching style is centered around motivating learners to do their best through honesty, organization, commitment, and hard work.
Fun facts about me: I have a one-year-old husky named Zeus, and we love to road trip and visit national parks together.
