About Me

I am an undergraduate student at Vanderbilt University, studying neuroscience and cognitive science in a double major, with a minor in saxophone performance. Due to this fascination, I have spent many hours trying to figure out what makes certain learning techniques "better" than others, and I have become well versed in a variety of teaching styles. Personally, I learn through understanding, and try to teach others through that same understanding. In my spare time I like to practice piano, guitar, and, of course saxophone. I also love to sail, to read, and to draw when I have extra time.

Hobbies & Interests

My favorite things to do include sailing, playing my saxophone, and playing pick up games of volleyball. I also enjoy reading in my free time (I'm a big sci-fi geek.).

Education

Bachelors, Neuroscience - Vanderbilt University

Q&A with Blake

I believe strongly that to fully grasp a topic, one must understand the basic reasoning behind that topic. In my experiences, understanding the basis behind the concepts, and knowing how they work, gives a much stronger ability to manipulate and analyze questions related to that topic. In short, my teaching philosophy is "reasoning through understanding".
