I earned my PhD (doctorate degree) in Earth System Science, which entails a fundamental understanding of all the "spheres" of the earth, like the atmosphere, hydrosphere (ocean/water), biosphere (land/geology) and the human-sphere. My research focused on understanding climate changes through analysis of polar ice cores. I even got to travel to and live at the South Pole for several months! My undergraduate degree is in meteorology with a minor in geology from Texas A&M University.

I am a passionate educator. While in graduate school, I sought out opportunities to teach. I served as a teaching assistant for four undergraduate science courses, ranging from atmospheric science to geology. I even served as an instructor for a 5-week long atmospheric science course. I also volunteered as a presenter and organizer for a non-profit science organization called CLEAN (Climate Literacy Empowerment and iNquiry) for roughly 5 years. In this role, I went to local K-12 schools and led active-learning presentations about climate change and sustainability to supplement ongoing curriculum.

I love tutoring Earth science, environmental science, geology, atmospheric science, and similar subjects. These subjects impact our daily lives and topics from these subjects can even be seen in our daily lives (think weather and rocks!)
