Fun Facts

I love travel and spent about 4 years living in Scotland. I'm also a mediocre guitarist, an avid gamer, and a huge foodie.

About Me

I'm currently pursuing my Master's in science/texas/austin">Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder and earned my BSc in science/texas/austin">Computer Science from St. Edward's University in Austin, TX. Before that, I spent several years studying Latin, Biblical Hebrew, and Theology at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. I've got a pretty broad knowledge base, and I love teaching engaged students who want to learn.

Experience

Later, in my time at St. Edward's, I was a TA for a Software Engineering course, leading 4 student teams to build their full-sta

Approach

My approach tends to be pretty straightforward and Socratic. If a student makes a mistake, I like to ask them to explain their reasoning to me first. It's helpful to understand where they're coming from before jumping into a teaching style.
