I graduated with both Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. As a first generation at-risk college graduate, I essentially started at the bottom, now I am here. I fell in love with helping students when I ironically started tutoring in the same Learning Center I matriculated through as a sophomore in college. I have been tutoring Math and Physics ever since for 30+ years. Since then, I also have worked for various government agencies (DoD, MDA, DOE) where I used the skills I have tutored in real world applications. Now I am giving back with the experience and empathy of how to overcome academic challenges.
