Experience
ESPAÑOL I began studying Spanish when I was 13 years old and it has been my passion ever since! I spent several months in Spain for immersion in the culture and language and frequently engage native speakers in conversation to keep my edge. LAW & POLITICS I earned Bachelor's Degree from the University of Oregon in Political Science and I excelled in all related coursework. I have helped candidates get elected to legislative office, participated in partisan politics (specializing in campaign finance) and have also interned in the Congressional offices of both US Sen. Wyden (D-Or) and Rep. David Wu (D-Or). I have attended two years of law school and worked in three different law firms. TUTORING BACKGROUND I have tutored peers, pupils from a variety of age groups as well as developmentally challenged high school students.
