I'm fond of good food and bad puns. In my free time, I wish I...

Since graduating, I have worked as a full-time research specialist in a cancer biology lab at the University of Pennsylvania and part-time as a lifeguard and swim instructor at the UPenn pool.

I have served as a tutor during middle school and high school for subjects ranging from math to history to English. I think that I'm a great tutor because I am knowledgeable in the subjects that I have listed above. I am also very patient when teaching others because I understand how difficult some concepts can be to grasp having struggled with them myself earlier in life. ... My teaching philosophy can best be described as persistent. I will try a variety of different methods, sample problems, and approaches to make sure the student is comfortable with the material on their own.

While at Marquette, I completed a congressional internship on Capitol Hill with David Obey (2003), so I also specialize in...

...success in school. My teaching style reflects the skills I believe students need to succeed in school. For example, I emphasize problem solving and understanding the theory behind a problem rather than just rote memorization. I believe in teaching a student how to approach learning in a way that stays with them long after they are done with their course. Outside of academia, I enjoy anything active such as playing soccer, long-distance running, and practicing...
