I founded Total Tutor during my junior year at UCLA to help students of all ages and abilities become more self-reliant and confident in their learning. As founder, I guide the company's growth and strategy, manage our online platform, and expand our talented team of tutors and interns. My focus is on creating and implementing effective business strategies and expanding our services to better support students in achieving their academic goals.

At WIBET, I assisted in the early stages of branding, including brainstorming the company name and defining key platform features. My primary responsibilities included designing wireframes and prototypes, conducting user research, and incorporating feedback to refine the user experience. My role focused on enhancing both the strategic and design elements of the platform to ensure a seamless and engaging product.

As a UI/UX Design Intern at Intelligent Relations, I utilized Figma to create detailed user personas, user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity mockups for their mobile app. My work focused on designing intuitive and engaging interfaces and ensuring that our designs were aligned with user needs and business objectives.

During the pandemic, I led over 700 tutoring sessions with students of all ages, keeping a 5-star review average throughout. I mainly worked with middle and high school students, focusing on boosting their motivation and communication skills. By creating a positive and supportive learning environment and setting clear, achievable goals, I helped students improve their performance and confidence. I was especially inspired by their resilience during such challenging times and made it a point to encourage them to see setbacks as opportunities for growth and personal development.
