ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

 

Supporting and guiding students has always been a passion of mine. I love witnessing when students start seeing themselves in the way I see them. I love being able to work with students and help them regain control and confidence to achieve their personal, professional, and academic short-term and long-term goals.

 

Although I am a third-generation teacher on my maternal side of the family, I am also a first-generation graduate student, completing my master's in education on my paternal side. Being a first-generation South Asian Canadian female, I know what it feels like to feel confused about my place and role in certain social settings. However, with over 6 years of peer-mentoring student athletes, 5 years of private tutoring, and 2 years of teaching experience, my goal as an educator is always to make meaningful relationships with students by understanding who they are and where they come from based on their intersectional identity and positionality.

 

I know what it's like to not be seen or heard and what it feels like to be brushed aside because in certain places my personal, professional, and academic identity was not understood. That is why I believe that making these relationships is vital in order for me to truly help students with their goals, rather than seeing them as just a number.

 

I aim to always foster culturally responsive and reflective work that can create a safe space to allow students to advocate for themselves and take control of their personal, professional, and academic lives. Some fun facts about me: I was once an athlete myself (specifically, I played rugby and basketball). I am also an extreme foodie and I love cooking new recipes and trying out new restaurants—wherever there is food, I am there!
