As an Applied Mathematics major at Western Michigan University (summa cum laude), I've spent over two years creating "aha!" moments for students through personalized, interactive tutoring sessions. I've worked with diverse learners, from mentoring peers at the university to designing 1,000+ math problems for Olympiad preparation. My approach combines patience, creative problem-solving, and a splash of humor to keep things engaging. I believe math isn't just about numbersit's about thinking critically, spotting patterns, and building confidence. My favorite topics to tutor? Calculus and mathematical modeling, because they're like playgrounds for ideas! I focus on understanding "why" behind concepts, not just the "how," helping students build a solid foundation for future success. My style is all about collaboration, using active learning techniques, and celebrating progress to keep motivation high. When I'm not tutoring, you'll find me exploring data science projects, tinkering with AI tools, or leading community initiatives like training underprivileged women in business skills. Fun fact: I also co-founded a candle-making startup because creativity isn't limited to the classroom! Let's make math your superpowerone concept at a time.

Outside of tutoring, I channel my creativity into writing poetry and painting, with some of my artwork featured in The Laureate—you can check it out here: https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/laureate/vol21/iss1/49/ I’m also fascinated by air crash investigations and enjoy exploring how aviation safety evolves. On the tech side, I love building AI thought-models and diving into quirky datasets, like investigating whether a Pokémon’s stats correlate with its region. These passions keep me curious and excited to bring a unique perspective to every challenge!
