With this mindset, I care deeply about my students' well-being as individual human...

...at home. It turns out that ethics and judgement are skewed when attending school in a city ranked, “one of the whitest in America.” Those learning environments were privileged, and yet personally unapproachable and uninspiring due to the stereotypes surrounding my ethnicity. If it was not language it was appearance. If not appearance, it was my cultural or religious beliefs. I learned I would need to fight to foster my individuality and intellect. There was...

My favorite subject is actually a combination of the two, studying how evolution has shaped human culture, brain, and behavior.

I really enjoy the sciences, but I also find math to be incredibly relaxing and rewarding once you get the grasp of the concept.
