I am passionate about helping others think mathematically. I enjoy providing students with relevant problems that interest them personally. After tutoring and teaching mathematics for several years, I know that my passion lies in seeing direct applications of mathematics in real-world scenarios. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy music of all sorts. I have been in choirs, bands, and orchestras since I can remember. As a percussionist, I have been blessed with the opportunity to play many different instruments, and I have enjoyed learning how mathematics and music are similar.
