Hello! I’m Ada, a recent graduate from the Digital Media Honours BA program at York University. I have been a Brain Trainer with LearningRx-Richmond Hill since 2022. I decided to become a Brain Trainer primarily to support students and their educational needs. I have a background in working with students as both a tutor and aquatics instructor. Coupled with my own experience growing up, I noticed that learning can be a huge challenge, and being there for my students on a one-on-one basis allows me to help them on a deeper level. In my spare time, I love to draw and watch movies with my family. As an artist, I am striving to one day use my creativity and skills in the media industry!

I am currently completing my Bachelor of Education at York University, striving to pursue a career as a French teacher. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and spending time with family and friends.

I became part of the LearningRx-Richmond Hill family in 2021. With an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Waterloo, where I majored in Psychology and minored in Biology, I’ve always been fascinated by how we think, grow, and connect. Today, I’m pursuing my Master’s and PhD in Clinical and Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto, driven by a deep passion for mental health and lifelong learning.

My journey has led me through meaningful work with the York Region District School Board and immersive mental health research at Sunnybrook hospital, giving me the privilege of working alongside individuals from a wide array of ages, cultures, and with different life experiences. These moments remind me every day that learning isn’t just academic – it’s deeply personal. I wholeheartedly believe that strengthening foundational learning skills is the key to unlocking one’s full potential. When learning is joyful and empowering, it fuels our inner drive and helps us fall in love with the process itself.

As a trainer, I take immense pride in celebrating every victory – big or small – with my students. Watching their confidence grow is the most rewarding part of what I do, because I believe that confidence in one self is the gateway to a lifelong love of learning.

When I’m not training, you can find me hanging out with friends, playing badminton, or indulging in cozy evenings filled with movies and TV shows! I’m also an avid traveler- nothing fills my soul quite like discovering nature’s beauty and connecting with people from around the world.
