OBJECTIVE
My goal is to help adolescents reach their full potential through education and counseling. I am
passionate about catering to students’ individual needs, as well as creating a fun, safe, and supportive
environment in order for each student to grow and learn. Most importantly, I aim to educate students
about the values of empathy, diversity, and social justice within their own lives and greater
communities.
