Degree Program: MEd/EdS in School Psychology

Hello! I graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University with a B.A in Psychology and Educational Studies. I am passionate about integrating social-emotional learning into schools and serving diverse student groups. While at Wesleyan, I worked as a T.A for the Psychology department and really enjoyed helping my peers find their learning style, stay motivated, and achieve their goals. I also co-founded a dance team at Wesleyan, which gave me the unique experience of coaching and mentoring my junior dancers. In my free time, I enjoy dancing, cooking, reading, and traveling.  

Fun Fact: I can speak 3 languages (I am fluent in Vietnamese and English, and diligently learning Korean).

Hi! My name is Alli and I am a current graduate student studying School Psychology. I studied Psychological Science during my undergraduate career and spent a lot of time juggling school, research, work, and a social life. My passions are both education and psychology and my goal is always to see students achieve success. This is my goal both for my future career as well as here at the Tutoring Center. College can be the absolute best experience, but it can also be full of unforeseen challenges. So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed with all there is to do, or feeling challenged by “Zoom University,” I have been there, so don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule an appointment.

Though I am new to Chicago, I am a Minnesota gal through and through. To explore my new home I have been trying to get out of my apartment and wander around. Whether it’s strolling through the city or walking as far as possible on the Lakefront Trail I am perfectly content. So if you have any recommendations on places to get out and discover I would love to hear them!

Fun Fact: I have been robbed twice by men on mopeds (don’t worry, neither was here in Chicago).

Degree Program: MEd/EdS in School Psychology

Hello! I graduated from Dominican University in River Forest with a B.A in Clinical Psychology and a minor in social justice and civic engagement. I am deeply passionate about language access in schools, supporting Latino immigrant students and families navigate the U.S educational system, and fostering positive school climates.

While an undergraduate, I had the opportunity to study abroad at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. That experience really sparked a keenness for travel. Much of my travelling since has been to different states of Mexico where I visit close relatives. My favorite visit has been to Tulum, known as a “magical town” of the Quintana Roo state in Mexico. Apart from travelling, exploring Chicago never seizes to amaze me. It truly is a beautiful city that has much history, music, art and food to offer. If you’re a plant lover and garden aficionado –or you just have some free time –you definitely should make the Garfield Park Conservatory one of your stops. Some hobbies that I enjoy are baking and running. Running has been a sport I’ve been involved in since the 5th grade. This sport has undeniably challenged me mentally and physically - but I love it!

Fun Fact: I’ve recently started caring for two houseplants: a Red Vein plant and a Purple Passion plant - and so far, so good. Still very much an amateur, so I am open to any tips.
