Education

Graduated from Seattle Pacific University Magna Cum Laude (3.89 GPA) in International Political Science and Linguistics/Cultural Studies.

Experience

I have 6+ years experience teaching and tutoring students with disabilities, homeschool students, international students, and refugees in both Sandpoint and Seattle. I am TEFL/TESOL certified and recently completed 2 years teaching at a Turkish university funded by a prestigious Fulbright grant. I received over 700 points on each section of the SAT and understand the nuances of college admission as well as applications for various academic grants and scholarships. I completed a writing intensive honors program at SPU and enjoy the challenge of teaching solid academic writing. I look forward to working with students on application materials and test preparation. I specialize in Social Sciences and English and have extensive university experience culminating in a multi-disciplinary social science honors thesis about women's social roles in Turkey. I was selected for Teach For America, a highly-selective program placing students with exceptional leadership ability in underprivileged schools around America. I have received PRAXIS scores (for teacher certification) in the top 15th percentile of all test takers for K-8 general studies and high school social studies. I look forward to working with students of all ages.

Hobbies

I grew up in the Sandpoint area and enjoy the outdoor opportunities that the region has to offer. I love to ski, swim, hike, and be in the great outdoors. I have a passion for traveling and cultural diversity and have studied abroad in Cairo, Egypt, taught for the last 2 years in rural Turkey, and traveled extensively throughout the Middle East region. I play fiddle, piano, banjo, and guitar and enjoy using music as a way to create connections and meet new friends.
