I am a trained instructor. I first began my training in the teaching field while I was at a community college. I was hired as a writing consultant and trained in assisting college and high school students with their essays and assignments, as well as college applications. I worked in high school classrooms, one-on-one, and in ESL classrooms. I was fortunate enough to transfer to UCLA, get my bachelor's degree, and then was accepted into a master's program at UCLA. I began working as a Teaching Assistant (TA) which meant that every week, I led labs and classes in a variety of topics ranging from communications to biology and ecology. I was then chosen to work as a Teaching Assistant Consultant where I worked with two UCLA professors in training new TAs. Through this class, I learned the most cutting-edge instructional techniques.

All of these opportunities and roles have allowed me to become a better reader, writer, and teacher.
