President and Founder | Tutoring Club

Naperville, IL (Neuqua Valley High School)

As a member of a school of 4000, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. That's why I started Tutoring Club at Neuqua Valley High School as a freshman. Over my four years here, I organized and managed all club activities and schedules, recruited qualified tutors, created and maintained the club website, wrote lessons and activities for the various subjects as shown on the website, and worked with the local Middle Schools’ Neuqua Valley- bound students to ensure a smooth transition into high school.

Teaching Assistant | Dr. Rubin's Mini Medical School

Naperville, IL

Each year a select group of graduates from the Mini Medical School for High School Students Program are selected and volunteer to be teaching assistants. These highly motivated students are mentored by Dr. Rubin and help run the programs. After my time as a student, I was selected to be a TA, where I taught small groups of students specific skills related to the field of medicine depending on the focus of the week.
