Learning Assistants

Erica

Hello! My name is Erica, and I’m a senior Psychology major. I became a Learning Assistant because I have dealt with math anxiety myself, and I want the opportunity to help others succeed in their math class. My other hobbies include snowboarding, painting, trying new foods, and playing video games with my husband.

Erin

Hi, I’m Erin Buell and I am a Chemistry/PreMed major. I became a Learning Assistant becauseI love chemistry and love helping others to succeed. Some hobbies of mine include traveling, reading, hiking, camping, health and nutrition.

Freedom

My name is Freedom Loren and I am majoring in Psychology. I became an LA because I know that everyone learns and grasps onto different topics in their own time and own way, and if I can give a different perspective to help someone else understand, then they can do the same for someone else later on. In my free time, I like to sketch and paint, although I'm still learning. I also recently got into building Legos, which has quickly become a fun activity to do while I watch TV or talk with my friends and family. During the winter season, I enjoy snowboarding and during the summer, I paddleboard, so I try to get out and enjoy our beautiful scenery.

Lilliana “Lilli”

Hi, my name is Lilli and I am a Nursing student! I became an SI leader to help ease the course load to be able to be perceived in an approachable way, and to become a pro of all the content. I love dancing, the gym, and naps! :)

Marissa

Hi! My name is Marissa, and I am a medical laboratory science major. I became a Learning Assistant because I love sharing my knowledge with others and helping them succeed. Teaching allows me to deepen my understanding of the material while making a positive impact on my peers' learning experience. My hobbies include hiking, volunteering, and playing games!

Moriah

My name is Moriah and I am a Nutrition Education major, in my 3rd year. I became a Learning Assistant because my favorite Nutrition professor recommended it, and I was very excited to work with her in her class. I love talking to people about nutrition, and I think it is important for everyone to know what your food can do for you! My hobbies include reading, hiking, sewing and crafts.

Quan "Q"

My name is Q and I am a Computer Science major. This job came to me unexpectedly. I am a very extroverted person, I love socializing and I also like to contribute my ideas in classes. The reason I developed the passion for this job and stayed with it is that great, fulfilling feeling when you're able to help someone who's struggling or blow their mind with fun facts you've learned from the class. I love cooking, working out, learning about new technologies and playing video games (even though I can't find the time for it XD).

Scott

Hey there, my name is Scott and I am a Social Sciences Composite Teaching major. I became an LA because I was particularly inspired by a course and the instructors who taught it. I wanted to learn more about the philosophy behind the course and how I could adapt it to my own field in the future. Learning should be fun! I love to read, disc golf, hike, and play all kinds of games (sports, board games, card games, RPGS, video games, etc.).

Vanessa

Hello, my name is Vanessa, and I'm a Math Teaching major in my fourth year. I became a Learning Assistant because I love to share my knowledge with others. It is rewarding for me to help fellow students understand math—especially if they've struggled with it in the past! I love being outdoors and in our lovely Utah mountains. I like to hike, mountain bike, play the piano, and play tennis!

Wesley

My name is Wesley and I am majoring in Math Teaching. I became a Learning Assistant to get some form of teaching experience, as well as to help other students who may struggle with math. My hobbies are hanging out with my friends, playing video games, and going on rides on my motorcycle.
