About Mika

Hello, My name is Mika K; I am a 24-year-old clinical research coordinator at UCSD Health. During the weeknights and weekends, I aim to help families impacted by the COVID-19 and online learning. My passion is to teach kids about the world around us, even during trying times. My experience started in college as I was a teacher's assistant for the Museum of Natural History in Santa Barbara, CA. I taught kids about the wonders of science using hands-on lesson plans. My classroom contained approximately 15 kids from the ages of 6- to 9-years old. I studied abroad during my junior year of college. While in Spain, I was hired by my college professors to tutor their 12-year-old son in English. The family eventually hired me as a full-time au pair for their son. My position at UCSD Health requires me to be fully vaccinated and get tested weekly for COVID-19. I aim to help young children with all subjects including foreign languages. I look forward to helping your family!
