Where do you attend school and what activities are you involved in?

I'm currently a student at the University of Virginia studying Philosophy and Gender Studies alongside genetics and bioethics.

What have your teaching opportunities been outside of Fairfax Collegiate?

I was a high school science tutor at Langley and am currently part of a group at UVA that does outreach programs with the community to teach them about safe practices.

What subjects have you taught with Fairfax Collegiate in the past?

I began working with Fairfax Collegiate in Summer 2022 and have taught many writing and reading courses, but also debate, public speaking, and a few science classes.

What sort of experience have you had in the subject you’ll be teaching this summer?

As a Philosophy major, I have a strong background in writing and, having taught many of these classes before, I am very comfortable teaching both reading and writing.

What excites you about teaching and working with students?

Their enthusiasm and unique perspectives constantly challenge me and help me grow as an educator, and it is always so satisfying to create a positive learning environment where they can grow as students.
