During her time at the University of Windsor she was employed as a graduate teaching assistant where she ran labs, tutored students, developed quizzes as well as practice questions, and answered all inquiries.

Did you know: Many students equate struggling with failing? This increases their anxiety and doubt. It also decreases their self-confidence in the classroom. Learning new concepts is a struggle for all students at some point in their education career. It is in these moments that students learn what they are capable of and learn how to succeed.
