Hello, I am a freshman at the University of Illinois Chicago. During high school, I was a part of the Marine Core Junior Leadership Course(MCJROTC program), which instilled in students the importance of leadership and discipline. As part of this program, I was allowed to lead other underclassmen through lessons that taught them important concepts in the class, and with it being a class that relied heavily on teamwork, it helped us push each other to be the best version of ourselves. When it comes to mathematics, I am passionate about the field because regardless of what the problem is, there is a way to find the answer. While there is no definitive way to tutor students, I believe it is important to encourage them to challenge themselves and think outside the box. Through this method, I hope they can strengthen their ability to apply their knowledge to solve a problem even if they have never encountered it. In my spare time, I work out 5 times a week and bench shows when I get the chance. I also like to code in Python while putting limitations on myself so that I can find different solutions to one problem.
