Why did you apply to work with GO?

I’m so passionate about working with kids!

What was your favorite tutorial moment?

When one of my students made big progress on their state tests and was rewarded with their favorite meal.

What was your favorite way to connect with the students?

As an older sister, I bring a lot of “big sister” energy and try to connect with them on a personal level.

What was your favorite way of getting your students’ attention?

Since I’m a part of the amazing Gen Z, I love to share a TikTok sound. The students recognize it and know that we’re ready to get started.

Baking! When I need to ease my mind, I love to bake a sweet treat.
