The Ivy Council is a not-for-profit organization comprised of student government leaders, student organization leaders, and students at large from the colleges and universities of the Ivy League.

Since then, the Ivy Council has expanded the scope of its activity both nationally and internationally with programs such as the Ivy Leadership Summit and student-exchange opportunities in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.As one of Yale's Co-Head Delegates, I've helped revitalize our efforts on campus.

As a math tutor I helped students that would come to our company for help. As a tutor I worked mostly with differently abled students in mathematics.

Together we worked to get them from a point of disliking mathematics to being an A maths student.
