Educator with a strong academic foundation and a diverse skill set in language, politics, and environmental science. With a Bachelor's degree in Arts, double-majoring in Politics, Literature, and Language, and Masters in Linguistics and Environmental Science, I possess a unique interdisciplinary perspective that I am eager to share with students.
My academic journey has equipped me with the ability to analyze complex subjects, communicate ideas clearly, and foster critical thinking—all essential skills for effective tutoring. In addition to my deep knowledge of language and political theory, I have a strong understanding of environmental issues and how these topics intersect with broader societal concerns. I am particularly passionate about helping students engage with these subjects in a meaningful way, encouraging them to think critically and develop their own perspectives.
While I currently work in a consulting role, I am seeking to transition into education, where I can apply my expertise to inspire and mentor students. I am committed to creating an engaging, supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to succeed academically and develop valuable skills for their future careers.
