What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to empower students and foster their academic growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated and passionate college consultant with a strong background in English Language and Literature. My academic journey at Dartmouth College, where I achieved a major GPA of 3.64, has equipped me with the skills necessary to guide students through the college application process. I take pride in creating personalized curricula that help students articulate their unique stories and achieve their academic goals.

In my role as a contributing reporter for The Dartmouth, I honed my research and writing skills, collaborating with peers to produce compelling narratives that resonated with our audience. My experience managing a team at the Zimmerman Fitness Center further developed my leadership abilities, allowing me to effectively communicate and strategize with staff to enhance operations and customer experiences. I am committed to fostering a supportive environment for students, ensuring they receive the feedback and guidance they need to succeed.
