Here, I helped students with their math and physics coursework. Generally what I would do is wait in the SVSU tutoring center while all the tutees would work on their studies until they had some sort of question. They would then signal one of the tutors over at which point we would sit and help them work through their issue. This experience made me more comfortable communicating ideas with other people as I had to both listen to understand what their current thought process was (in order to identify the source of the confusion) and then had to communicate to them the material in a way that made it easier to understand.
My responsibilities involved sitting in the SVSU Mathematics department and helping the professors there with anything they wanted me to help with. This very often involved printing, copying and scanning materials, sorting and stapling tests, counting out and delivering exams for the larger lower level math classes, and formatting text and images. Unfortunately, my time here ended in the first third of the Winter 2020 semester due to the COVID-19 crisis.
The way that the Delta College tutoring center worked is almost identical to the way the SVSU tutoring center worked. As such, the responsibilities included were pretty much identical.
Saginaw Valley saw the completion of my Bachelor's degree. I majored in Physics and eventually decided to add Mathematics. As part of my Physics degree requirements, I participated in some guided research under Dr. Matthew Vannette focused on building a pulse tube refrigerator. During the later half of my studies here, I was involved in the SVSU Physics club and also participated in COMAP 2020, a math modeling competition.
At Delta, I explored a wide array of academic subjects including Music, Political Science, History, English, Spanish, Math, Chemistry, and Communications. This helped cement my love of Math and Physics. I also completed an Interpersonal Communications Skills certificate that delta offered following the completion of four communication courses.
During my time at Hemlock High school I gained an interest in the fields of Science and Mathematics.
I took up a number of extracurriculars. I played Saxophone in the High School band and participated on the tennis team for three years.I also participated in three of the School Theater's productions, playing the lead in "Oklahoma".
