As a young student influenced by the passion and enthusiasm my school teachers displayed towards mathematics and the sciences, I immersed myself in opportunities to become a successful student and scientist. I graduated from the University of Maryland with a Bachelor of Science in physics with a focus in meteorology. During my time as an undergraduate, I gained valuable experience as a research scientist collaborating on projects in the Department of Physics at the University of Maryland, at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations (NOAA), and at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Awarded the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship as a result of my strong academic performance and research background, I went on to study geophysics at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. This past September, I received my Master of Science in earth sciences with a focus in geophysics. I really enjoyed presenting my research over the past five years, but I believe tutoring and teaching to be the ultimate opportunity to share my passions with the community.

For over a year, I have been teaching acrobatics to students of all ages at the San Diego Circus Center. I have the opportunity to work with students from diverse backgrounds and with unique learning styles. I develop my own class curricula and guide students through progressions to help them learn new skills within different acrobatic disciplines. For my position at the San Diego Circus Center, it is also my responsibility to organize and teach our special enrichment programs. This past fall, I collaborated with a local homeschooling program to introduce students to unique learning opportunities. I taught over one hundred students from kindergarten through fifth grade. This rewarding experience further emphasized the importance of patience, and finding engaging and relatable activities in order to connect with students. I enjoy taking challenging material, breaking it down into organized key concepts, and supplementing the learning with relatable, real-life examples. I use this same strategy when I tutor students of all ages in math and physics. I have found that by making connections between the material and the tutee's experiences, my students excel at retaining information.

I am confident that my experience in the field of science coupled with my passion for teaching will be a great asset to the students seeking assistance through Varsity Tutors. I am committed to advising and mentoring students in order to provide them with a rich learning experience; I am full of energy and excitement with the opportunity to motivate students through sharing what I love: math and science. I am committed to the personal growth and character development of each student.
