Meet The People Behind Your Rising Star.

I’ve always been passionate about science, which is what led me to complete my Bachelor of Science in Chemical Biology with Honours and Distinction at Thompson Rivers University. I love being able to share that passion with students, helping them to connect with what they’re learning and feel supported and confident throughout their academic journey.

During university, I discovered my passion for teaching through working as a supplemental learning leader for first- and second-year chemistry students. In this role, I created and facilitated study sessions and helped students gain the skills they needed to become confident and independent learners. I was also a lab instructor for chemistry and organic chemistry, where I helped students develop their skills and confidence in the lab.

Teaching has been one of the most rewarding parts of my academic journey. I’m passionate about helping students develop effective study strategies and learning habits that will help with their academic success. As a tutor, I strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and are given the space to grow.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in Philosophy. Studying English at the university level has helped me develop exceptionally strong communication skills. These skills go past writing, into explaining ideas clearly, listening closely, and adapting to each student’s unique learning language. I love figuring out how each student learns best and adjusting my approach so everything feels clear and manageable.

I’ve worked with students in a variety of settings, from experience as a Spanish teacher’s assistant to working with the ASSAI After-School Program in Kamloops, BC, where I supported children from diverse backgrounds in building academic and social skills. I’ve also spent years tutoring peers in English, math, and science, growing my experience with learners from elementary through high school.

My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, fun, and focused on building confidence as much as academic skill. Whether we’re tackling algebra, strengthening writing, or developing better study habits, my goal is to make learning feel approachable and empowering while maintaining a comfortable and joyful environment for each student.

I love helping students discover what they’re capable of, one step at a time, while building strong and meaningful connections along the way.
