Bio
Julia Buben
Peter is a remarkably bright, responsible, and hardworking young person who brings enthusiasm to everything he does. I have known Peter for four years and had the unique opportunity to watch him grow and develop strong passions for both education and cooking. Peter's community work and academic performance reflect his commitment to helping educate others while challenging himself to grow as a learner, too. His patience, resilience, and support make him a valuable asset to any team!

I have had the pleasure of working with Peter for the past 7 years. He was my student from middle school until high school. More recently, Peter was my peer leader for Ladders 2 Success summer program we run at Quincy High School. When the teacher he was working with had to split her time, Peter stepped up and not only helped instruct, but also made sure each student was well aware of what they were doing. His ability to teach to all learning styles at such a young age is pretty amazing. Peter is reliable, trustworthy, and a model student. He is one of the most reliable and capable students I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He's patient with the students he mentors and also was a fantastic guide for them throughout the program. His drive, professionalism, ability to master any task given, and all around pleasant demeanor made him our top choice for the program. I would 110% recommend Peter for any position of his choosing.
