Experience
For years I tutored kids who were on the road and away from school for horseback riding competitions. Following college I taught a class to local women in Costa Rica, 'De Basura A Tesoro,' focusing on environmental mindfulness and making marketable goods from recycled materials. Since then I have mentored girls on a professional and personal level, every year. I have taught various high impact sports to children and adults over the last 15 years and feel that I have really found my teaching voice. I love to tutor to encourage kids to push through the difficult parts of school, to understand the importance of what they're working on and to hopefully begin pinpointing their passions. I have lived in different parts of Latin America for several years, and speak intermediate Spanish fluently. I've been a writer all my life, ultimately influencing me to major in multimedia journalism during college. My communication skills are excellent and I'm professionally motivated by interpersonal connections. Recently I started a company, Chicks Rip Adventures, with the goal of evoking women's and girls' empowerment through exploring outside. The end result is always to find strength and beauty from within, especially when often we ladies don't realize those qualities are there from the start (www.chicksrip.com).
