WHAT MAKES HER AN AWESOME TUTOR

I am extremely passionate about STEM education and making learning more accessible! Everyone has their own learning style, and I believe that understanding this is the KEY to providing an amazing tutoring experience! I also keep things lighthearted and make sure my students feel like they always have someone cheering them on their STEM journey!

Life goal:  My life goal is to make a positive impact in the field of medical technology while advocating for accessible STEM education, especially for underrepresented populations!

Words to Live By:  One of my favourite quotes is, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." This quote reminds me that even the most intimidating challenges can be conquered, one step at a time :)

Favourite Mathematical Weapon: My pattern-recognition-driven brain! Also, my scientific calculator, which was a huge support during my engineering undergraduate degree.

NERD ALERT

I have a fixation with memorizing geography facts. I currently know all of the national flags of the world, and I'm currently working on memorizing capitals and country locations. I've yet to figure out what benefit this has for me, but for now it's a cool party trick!
