What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to inspire students and contribute to their academic success while fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment.

I am a passionate educator with a strong background in tutoring and classroom management. My experience as a Chemistry and Physics Tutor at Butte College has equipped me with the skills to manage open tutoring sessions effectively, addressing the diverse needs of students in a fast-paced environment. I take pride in helping students develop critical problem-solving skills and study strategies, which ultimately enhances their academic performance.

In addition to my tutoring role, I have served as an Office Assistant for Madelyn Holzman MD, where I managed patient documentation and provided essential front office support. My experience as a Substitute Teacher for the Chico Unified School District has further honed my ability to create inclusive learning environments tailored to the unique needs of students across various grade levels. I am committed to fostering a positive educational experience and collaborating with fellow educators to maintain continuity in lesson plans.
