One of my main passions in life is continued learning. My strength lies in mechanical engineering in which I have completed a bachelor's degree at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Having taken part in a study abroad program, I've studied in central Taiwan alongside students from all over the world. My primary goal with my students is to ensure they succeed. My areas of strength are trig, algebra, calculus and physics. The few years I spent as a director for the HYPE UWM hip hop dance team gave me the opportunity to coach a lot of different people, and not just teaching math. As a weekend warrior mechanic, I have been fixing cars for the past 10 years which has significantly strengthened my problem solving abilities. Public speaking has been a strength since early on and I'm always looking forward to the next opportunity to pass on as much knowledge as possible. Currently, I work as a product service engineer for industrial and marine transmissions. Throughout my schooling I have worked in manufacturing, quality control and design engineering fields.
I am a strong advocator of making sure my students are able to demonstrate to others the very problems they were having trouble with originally. Certain subjects can be very difficult so you can be guaranteed I have as much patience and different approaches as it takes to help my student understand not only the problem but the concept.
