I have been privileged to receive my undergraduate education at Brown University graduating with Honors in Biology. After college, I joined Teach For America and taught High School Special Education in several subjects including earth science, forensic science, and chemistry. Science is my passion. I then went on to pursue my medical degree and will be starting my Neurology residency this year. As the eldest of six children, I have unofficially been tutoring for most of my life and officially been tutoring for over 10 years. My three summers as a residential advisor have given me invaluable experiences that have encouraged my interest in teaching. Although I had different students each summer, my efforts to instill them with personal responsibility, to motivate them to excel in their studies, and to be present as a resource for support and guidance remained constant. I see education as a dynamic process of exchange I want to achieve between the teacher and her students. I aspire that my students will find joy in learning and realize their agency both inside and outside the classroom. With my determination and enthusiasm, I believe I can make a difference in their learning experience.

I am an avid Lakers basketball fan. I also enjoy cooking and traveling.
