About Me

I've always enjoyed school, but there were those times when I was totally lost. I know the feeling of frustration when everyone else seems to get it, or when the whole class is struggling and there's no classmate who can help. In college and in grad school, I've developed superior study skills and the ability break down difficult topics into simpler pieces. When there is a big exam coming up, I've learned how to organize my studying so that I make sure to cover everything but spend the most time on the hardest parts. I've been able to use these skills to help classmates in my masters and PhD classes in economics at American University, where my PhD is in progress. I also have experience as a math tutor in high school and have facilitated numerous training workshops in my professional work history. I'm able to work with individuals and small groups. My areas of expertise are mathematics and economics, especially algebra, calculus, microeconomic theory and macroeconomic theory. These subjects are all related and I find it really interesting that they can help with understanding human behavior on a small and grand scale. When I'm not working on economics coursework, I love hanging out with my dog and doing outdoorsy things with friends like camping, hiking, and going to the beach. I also love cooking and I've found that if I just learn and understand how things work I will never have to memorize a recipe. Same thing with math and econ.
