Summary
I am a recent graduate from UIUC, with a bachelors in mathematics with a minor in sociology. I have experience tutoring for Lake Land College's tutoring center, where I worked individually with students from all walks of life in everything from accessing local resources to calculus 3. I have been on the executive board of the Campus Union of Trans Equality and Support at UIUC, and have also helped found an LGBTQIA+ training for students at Lake Land College. I have a passion for helping others in an academic context, focusing on building confidence, comprehension, and a sense of belonging.
