I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, where I discovered an early love for science. In high school, I was active in science clubs and found myself tutoring younger peers in biology and chemistry. I went on to study both biology and computer science at Cornell, drawn to the ways different disciplines could overlap and inform one another. After college, I started my career in software engineering but eventually felt pulled back toward more creative and human-centered work. In 2024, I pivoted toward a new path that blends technical thinking with design and creation. Tutoring has remained one of the most fulfilling parts of that journey.

As a tutor, my goal is to help students build lasting habits and learning skills that go beyond any one subject. I teach so that my students can learn how to learn. Sessions are structured but flexible, and I adapt to each student’s needs. If they’re seeking enrichment, I bring in new material to challenge and stretch their thinking. If they need support with existing coursework, I help organize their approach and create a space where they feel comfortable challenging themselves. Over time, I’ve seen students carry these habits into other parts of their academic and personal lives.
