  • I'm passionate about helping students because I've seen how meaningful support can turn uncertainty into confidence.

About Me

I graduated in the top 10% of my high school class and completed a rigorous AP curriculum in subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus BC, English, Economics, and Spanish. I really enjoyed learning from my teachers and know how transformative good teaching can be. I earned my undergraduate degree from Northwestern University, where I studied Neuroscience, Anthropology, and Global Health. Those disciplines deepened my appreciation for how people learn, think, and connect across different perspectives. I now am about to graduate medical school and enter residency later in the summer, but before I start off my busy career as a doctor, I'm looking to make some money so I can travel and tackle bucket list items that I've not had a chance to do yet. Throughout college and medical school, I've tutored students of varying ages and backgrounds in subjects including biology, chemistry, math, and writing, as well as standardized test preparation. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and biochemistry because I enjoy helping students see the logic and beauty behind how living systems work. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, adaptability, and curiosity. I approach each session as a collaboration, tailoring lessons to each student's needs and helping them build problem-solving skills rather than rely on rote memorization. Outside of academics, I'm passionate about photography and travelboth of which keep me creative, observant, and open-minded, qualities I bring into every tutoring interaction.

Hobbies & Interests

Outside of academics, I love exploring creative and active outlets that keep me balanced and inspired. Photography and pottery let me slow down and notice details—whether it’s capturing light through a lens or shaping clay into something tangible. I stay active through hiking, yoga, Pilates, and the occasional game of pickleball or volleyball with friends. I also love immersing myself in stories through K-dramas, music, and film, and I’m a bit of a stationery enthusiast who finds joy in studying or journaling at cozy coffee shops. Traveling ties it all together for me—it fuels my curiosity, refreshes my perspective, and reminds me how much there is to learn from the world around me.
