I researched technical details of various crypto assets with its distributed ledger technology (such as blockchain) for my personal investment decisions. I used my own analysis, market trends and organization announcements.

Cambridge, Ma

Designed a complete online curriculum including calendar lesson plans, resources and an overview video for the brand new MIT BLOSSOMS Project-Based Learning (PBL) program. This program supports STEM high school teachers who hope to use the PBL pedagogy in the classroom but have no experience. You can watch my tutorial video in the MIT BLOSSOMS tour link below.

I shifted the traditional Math Applications class for seniors into math applications for their current life. They were tasked with understanding their own budget for college, a Flint Water investigation to learn Exponential Functions, and a Geocaching exploration trip to apply x and y coordinates in relation to latitude and longitude.

Using LaTex programming, I created Math practice problems on Albert's proprietary platform. I write questions that involve examples such as rationalizing binomial denominators with creativity using a problem with simple skill questions to Tetris or a shopping space. My work ranges from middle school math up to Calculus.

Westminister, Vermont

I built a remediation course for math foundations for grades 8 through 12. Through small groups and one-on-one support, I was able to close math gaps while guiding students through confidence and self-awareness for a growth mindset.

Framingham, Ma

In my first year teaching, I created the school's highlighted Expeditionary Learning event on applying a full architecture project for Geometry students. This was advertised in our school's gala event and the national Robert Noyce conference.I taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra and Geometry course using student-centered learning, and when possible, led cross-curricular projects. This involved creating Project-Based Learning units and Inquiry-Based content. I also was the 8th grade's technical team leader for educator's technical inquiry and support.

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

I led many software and networking projects using simple agile project methodologies. I maintained happy teams by positive and open engagements which ensures future success for other project needs. Through the issues, bugs or conflicts, I modeled a balanced process to lead the dilemma to a direct solution.
