CURRENT MISSION

Make the smallest difference in someone's life everyday

ABOUT ME

As a student, musician, journalist, writer, and photographer, I LOVE to learn. I thirst for every opportunity to absorb as much culture as I can.

One of my greatest passions is educating. I spend at least 20 hours a week tutoring organic chemistry, Italian, etc. when I'm at my university. To that end, I've created a student organization to create learning communities for some of the courses offered at OU. The whole process of bringing a new organization to term has been an incredible experience!

I'm fascinated by language. To me, every language has its own taste. Quite literally, as well. Italian's my principle second language, but I still understand Spanish very well. Since I work at a free medical clinic that gets a lot of Spanish-speaking patients, I'm slowly improving. Duolingo.com is great for getting a start on a few languages if you're interested!

PHILOSOPHY

Life's experiences are meant to be shared. Why else would we be given this capacity to feel and love? There's a unique discovery to be found within every person.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a saxophonist and self-taught pianist, I love to teach music. If you need help with an organic chemistry course, I can help you with that, too! And when it comes to English grammar, man, I love it. To be honest, I just love to teach. Period.
