What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to inspire and educate students while continuing to grow in my understanding of mathematics and its applications.

I am a dedicated and passionate math tutor with a strong academic and competitive background. My experience includes tutoring students of all ages and breaking down complex topics to foster understanding and confidence in mathematics. I have a solid foundation in applied mathematics, having completed coursework at Emory University, where I also participated in the Math Data Collection Initiative, focusing on generative modeling with neural networks.

Throughout my academic journey, I have been a key contributor to the Buchholz Math Team, helping our team achieve national championship status. My involvement in advanced summer math camps and various competitions has honed my problem-solving skills and deepened my understanding of mathematical concepts. I have also taken on leadership roles, such as organizing STEM outreach events and teaching at math camps, where I designed engaging lessons for younger students.
