I am a first-generation student who has tutored mathematics at the Hard Math Cafe since February 2020.

Davis with a major of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology. My intended career path is either a game warden or fisheries conservation.

I would like to give a special thanks to Riley Frederking, Tony McDaniel, Fatima Ruiz, and Cheryl Latimer for being supportive when I needed to talk to someone and always sharing knowledgeable advice.

Happy Finals Week, MESA! You've made it to the final stretch. Managing work, class, and sleep becomes increasingly more difficult during finals week. Check-in with yourself, it can be easy to get run down during this time. Follow these tips to help finish the semester off strong. *Prioritize self-care - Your health and mood impact your studying. Do you have scheduled breaks? Are you staying hydrated?... *Prepare - Create a study schedule that reflects when you work best. Are you a morning person? Or do you prefer to work at night? *Stay active - Movement enhances brain power and reduces anxiety. Have you been studying without breaks? *Protect your sleep - Sleep is critical for optimal brain function. Are you trying to cram late into the night? Are you following your study schedule? *Persevere - Grades do not define you. Remember, your grades are not a reflection of your self-worth. There are many things a standard test cannot measure. Finals week is challenging, but you will get through it. We believe in YOU! #ycmesa #yubacollege
