About Me

Math can feel like a puzzle, and I love helping students put the pieces together! As an Applied Mathematics major at Western Michigan University (summa cum laude), I've spent over two years creating "aha!" moments for students through personalized, interactive tutoring sessions. Whether it's conquering calculus or mastering discrete mathematics, my mission is to make math less intimidating and more empowering. I've worked with diverse learners, from mentoring peers at the university to designing 1,000+ math problems for Olympiad preparation. My approach combines patience, creative problem-solving, and a splash of humor to keep things engaging. I believe math isn't just about numbersit's about thinking critically, spotting patterns, and building confidence. My favorite topics to tutor? Calculus and mathematical modeling, because they're like playgrounds for ideas! I focus on understanding "why" behind concepts, not just the "how," helping students build a solid foundation for future success. My style is all about collaboration, using active learning techniques, and celebrating progress to keep motivation high. When I'm not tutoring, you'll find me exploring data science projects, tinkering with AI tools, or leading community initiatives like training underprivileged women in business skills. Fun fact: I also co-founded a candle-making startup because creativity isn't limited to the classroom! Let's make math your superpowerone concept at a time.
