Bio
I am a cheerful, energetic, and optimistic person, who enjoys getting to know and work with people. I love stories, making confusing things understandable, and hope to become a high-school teacher.
I am extremely patient, I have a good sense of humour, and am good at reading people. I also have experience in both leadership and tutoring, and enjoy both.
