My whole life, I've competed, and what I've learned is this: the harder you practice, the easier the game will be.

Therefore as a tutor, I hope to cultivate in my students these same problem-solving and critical...

I am also an actor and musician, most recently having performed in Much Ado About Nothing at The Public Theater's Shakespeare in...
