About Me
As a Neuroscience major at Johns Hopkins University, I've had the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of complex scientific and mathematical conceptsknowledge I'm passionate about sharing with students through tutoring. I've worked extensively with students in both academic and mentorship roles, and I find the most rewarding part of tutoring is helping students grow their confidence and ability to tackle difficult problems on their own. I enjoy guiding students through problem-solving strategies and simplifying challenging concepts, whether it's interpreting data in a science passage or navigating tricky algebraic expressions. I aim to meet students where they are, identify their learning strengths, and help them build a foundation they can trust on test day and beyond. Outside of tutoring, I conduct research in a neurosurgical laboratory where I work with brain imaging and machine learning to better understand tumor pathology. I also serve my community as a volunteer in pediatric and trauma hospital departments and as a camp counselor and development coordinator for children impacted by cancer. These experiences have taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of individualized supportvalues I bring into every tutoring session. Whether I'm walking students through a math section or breaking down scientific reasoning questions, my goal is to empower them with the tools and mindset they need to succeed. I strive to make learning engaging, approachable, and personally meaningful for each student I work with.
Hobbies & Interests
In my free time, I mainly enjoy creating graphite drawings, and explore other avenues of my artistic interests such as painting and colored pencil drawings. I’m also an avid rock climber, and usually spend most afternoons bouldering at the local climbing gym. Additionally, I've recently developed a newer hobby in writing screenplays, and am currently working on improving my screenwriting skills.
