About Me

I received my BS (2010) in Engineering Mechanics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and my MS (2012) and PhD (2016) degrees in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During my time as an undergraduate I ran discussion sections twice per week for students enrolled in Engineering Dynamics where I provided brief lectures and supplemental problem sets for students looking for extra help outside of the lectures. In graduate school, I continued working in academics as a teaching assistant for a senior level composite mechanics course. Also in graduate school, I served as the laboratory manager for the Composites Manufacturing Laboratory on campus were I instructed hundreds of students on the basics of fabricating composite parts for a variety of applications including vehicle wing elements, rocket casings, and sporting goods. When tutoring a student, I prefer to learn what motivates them to be successful and where their passion lies with a subject. My passion is for understanding the world around me through engineering, math, and science, so I prefer and enjoy tutoring those subjects above all else. Outside of academics, I enjoy making music, running, and playing ultimate frisbee.
