Any time I have a chance, I will be playing soccer with friends or training for a race. I like to stay active and help others with their fitness and academic goals.

Approach

As a child, math was difficult, but my father would help me every night and walk through the problems with me. I eventually became comfortable and we would even race to see who would get to the answer before the other. I believe in collaboration because through collaboration people are able to bounce ideas off of one another leading to a spark in thought. I have learned to love math and science and want to help to build confidence and interest in the subject. "You never know until you try."
