Before graduating college, people would tell me to "prepare for the real world." This confused me- I thought that's what years of education was supposed to do! I quickly understood what they meant.

My whole life I've been a good student. I've taken challenging courses, studied, and tried my best. But getting good grades isn't the only thing that matters in life: it's applying intelligence to every situation that will carry you through life.

This is what I teach and believe: how to use what you learn to help you succeed. I open minds, guiding people to think creatively, critically, and independently.
