I received my PhD in Physics from the Air Force Institute of Technology. My master's and bachelor's degrees are also in physics. I am a lifelong mentor, tutor, and have taught physics and mathematics at the high school and college level. I truly enjoy seeing students understand what was once challenging to them. I have tutored in physics, algebra, geometry, and introductory python. I belong to a lot of professional STEM organizations, so I don't have a lot of free time. However, I garden, walk and run, as well as read in my spare time.
