Education
I am currently a sophomore at Georgetown University in the School of Foreign Service studying African Regional Studies with a minor in Women's and Gender Studies. I was selected for the Dean's List in the fall of 2010. I graduated from the University of Chicago Laboratory High School in 2009 with a 3.73/4.0 GPA.
Experience
I am currently a tutor with the DC Schools Project, where I work one-on-one with a high school student who has a learning disability and a speech impediment. I am responsible for creating lesson plans, researching tutoring techniques, and attending relevant presentations by lecturers and professors to learn how I can better assist my tutee. We work on issues of literacy, reading comprehension, writing, and spelling, as well as study skills and various homework assignments. I find my work with the DC Schools Project incredibly rewarding and have thoroughly enjoyed becoming a regular part of the life of my tutee and his family. For nearly two years, I worked for the Obama for America Presidential Campaign. My work with the for campaign taught me many valuable professional and personal skills. I was a member of the Illinois Field Team, the Camp Obama Training Team, and a chapter coordinator for Students for Barack Obama. Working multiple positions for the campaign meant I had to balance the responsibilities of my various jobs while also serving as a liaison between different branches of the organization.
