"Every student has different sets of strengths and weaknesses when it comes to their learning style. I typically spend the first session exploring what type of learning style is most appropriate to that individual. I’ve spent my whole life traveling, but I have always found myself back in the mountains. The most profound thing I have discovered during my life is how integrated our world really is. The smallest things connect us and I believe it is our job as educators to create these connections in our students.

After graduating from Appalachian State, I have spent most of my time as a private tutor for three families in the Asheville area. Currently, I assist two 5th grade students with their integrated virtual learning. In this tutoring role, I have become well equipped with multiple virtual learning platforms including Zoom and Google Classroom. The experience I have had helping these students navigate online learning is a strength I will bring to my role as tutor.

During my studies at Appalachian State University, I had the opportunity to work within the Watauga County school system at Hardin Park Middle and Elementary School. I mostly worked with individual students in the school’s TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) program. Most of my training at Appalachian State was with students who speak a language other than English at home. My training at Appalachian State also explored online learning options and over the Summer of 2020, I had the opportunity with Landi English to work with students in an online teaching setting. The residential college I was a part of had a strong focus on holistic and experiential education

I have had Relias learning training on HIPAA and Rights of Individuals with IDD. I am also currently employed at First Resource Center that help individuals with a variety of intellectual development disabilities.
