About me
I am very thankful for the educational opportunities I have had in life. In large part because of my high school education, I got into the college of my dreams, and with my college degree under my belt, I was able to pursue law at my dream institution. All of my achievements, however, are the result not just of my own hard work, but the tireless efforts of great teachers and mentors. I hope to pass their kindness on in my work as a tutor with Ivy Bound, helping to spread not just knowledge but also the keys to good learning and self-sufficiency.
