I think the most important...

...travel when launched at a specific angle and speed) and then alter parameters to achieve a desired result is pretty awesome! To give my brain a break, I love physical activity, in particular team sports. In my free time, you can almost always find me somewhere in Boston playing soccer, ultimate frisbee, or rocking out to music while training freestyle soccer juggling.

I spend my free time hiking, sewing, knitting, cooking, and building Lego castles with my three younger siblings.

...are quite satisfying to understand. I have always found helping people bridge the gap from the unknown to practical intuition to be worthwhile. My teaching philosophy is that of a peer, rather than an instructor. I have found that hearing an explanation from a fellow student can help to bridge the gap of confusion in more complicated subjects. A recent student can recall what was difficult about the class and explain how they worked through...

...because I would time her when she said, "We'll move on in a few minutes." As my mathematics education advanced through the years, math became less of a study of algorithms and how to compute, and more of a study of elegance. In Calculus, we learn the sophistication of the exponential function and how its value at a point is also its slope, and how we can use this to our advantage in differential equations....
