I’m currently studying Elementary Education at BYU, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’m passionate about making learning fun, engaging, and confidence-boosting. One of my favorite parts of being a tutor at JoyFully Read!™ is watching children discover a genuine love for reading and writing. Helping students grow as learners—and seeing their excitement when things click—is what makes this work so meaningful to me!
