Certified Tutor
I've recently graduated from Queen's University having attained a Master of Science degree with a specialization in Astronomy. Previously, I attended Mount Allison University where I obtained a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Physics. Over the last 5 years, I have worked as a Teaching Assistant, engaging directly with University students on Introductory Physics topics. I have been a peer tutor where I helped students 1-on-1 in Physics and Calculus. I believe in teaching my students how to use the tools they need to understand their subject and solve the various complex problems they will face. I want to leave my students confident in their abilities to understand the course material independently to set them up for success in the future.

My hobbies and interests out me as a nerd of nerds. I spend much of my free time building, painting, and playing with Warhammer miniatures, and I am currently on three separate armies at once. I love science fiction, both in movies & and TV, and books, taking in as much of the genre as I can from Star Trek to Star Wars from Doctor Who to Battlestar Galactica. I also dabble in video games, mostly FPS and RTS games.
