My inspiration for education stems from my childhood, growing up in a house full of educators, and relying on teachers and tutors myself as I was growing up.

...students in an unofficial capacity since high school. When I became an undergraduate I wanted to continue to help students, so I started a tutoring program for underclassmen who were struggling in their science courses.

In my spare time, I like to exercise, volunteer, play basketball,...
