I have worked with students of a variety of backgrounds, from college freshman to nontraditional students returning to college. I earned an Associates in Science from Mitchell Community College and a Bachelors of Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. During my education, I tutored students through Mitchell's in house tutoring service. I tutor math from basic addition and subtraction to Calculus 2, and algebra and calculus based physics. Algebra and calculus are my favorite subjects to help students with. Every person learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style to the student. Written problems versus verbal working out the problem, both work. Outside of schooling, I enjoy playing large multiplayer games; creating programs that either solve a problem or just for fun; sewing, crocheting, and several other crafting hobbies; cooking; and playing with my 2 cats.

I enjoy creating things, either a handmade toy, garment, food, or software, and I use math for all of it. Using a crochet pattern and then deciding that it would be better or easier if I changed something is fun for me. Sewing a dress and discovering that the pattern doesn't fit, so I have to alter the pattern on the fly, or just adding pockets to a dress. Making a new recipe for cookies or cake, and then saying "Would this other flavor also work?". For computer programs, I see where the existing options are either expensive or don't do what I want, and then building something that does what I want. I also enjoy playing computer, card and table top games with people.
