About Me

I am a recent graduate from the Math Honors program at University of Tennessee, Knoxville and I will begin my PhD in Mathematics at University of California, Santa Barbara this fall. Like many students whom I've tutored, I have not always been a successful mathematics student. In fact, it wasn't until later on in my undergraduate degree that I decided to take on a mathematics major. Choosing to make mathematics a career has changed my life and been incredibly rewarding both in my professional and personal life. Besides the basic math skills needed in live, mathematics may seem irrelevant if you aren't planning to be a mathematician or engineer, but it is such an important subject because it teaches you how to think. It helps you better understand science and think critically about complex problems. I also believe that the rigor of thought which it provides can help you in your personal life by helping you discern truth from untruth, and understand when someone's logic (including your own) may not be logical at all.
