Hi! I am Liza, the math tutor in the TRIO Office. I am currently pursuing a bachelor's in mathematics here at the  U. I am originally from Utah County, where I spent my entire life. I do unfortunately only speak English, but I have wanted to learn Spanish as a second language. I am pretty low-key, I just like reading, playing games, and baking, but I also love to serve and help others. I am super excited to be a part of the TRIO team!
