...my passion for education (as well as my passion for flan). When I got back to the US, I decided I wanted to try some other fields before I committed to education.

I always love helping people grow and learn not only in academics, but also in life! I believe the best way to do so is by teaching what you already know, and learning from those you teach and those who teach you.

While in high school, I gained a year experience tutoring a classmate in AP Biology. In college I have aced my math courses, including Calculus 1 (differential) and Calculus 2 (integral).
