Fun Facts
One of the first things my college roommates always remark on during Move-In Day is my gigantic stack of comic books and novels taking up half my shelf space. Weirdly, even after a study session flipping through textbooks, I still find reading relaxing - whether it be Batman or Stephen King. I also have a strange addiction to HBO Dramas, something I don't entirely understand myself. Otherwise, you could probably find me in the gym or on coffee and movie dates with friends.
About Me
I'm a Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering major at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. I was pre-med for 2 & 1/2 years before realizing how strongly I was drawn to problem-solving, creative application and invention. I'm on the 15'-16' Dean's List and an active student member of organizations such as Society of Women Engineers, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and American Chemical Society. I plan on pursuing a PhD in ChemE after graduation and ultimately end up working at a National Lab.
Experience
My 2 years spent as an educator at Peer Health Exchange gave me a wide variety of teaching tools in both a classroom setting as well as 1-on-1. I found mentoring high schoolers was an incredibly fulfilling experience and sought other opportunities: I gave an interactive workshop on Black Holes to 10th-12th graders for NYU Stemfest 2015, and it's part of my duties as a Phi Lambda Upsilon National Chemistry Honors Society Member to give review sessions for chemistry courses to NYU undergrads.
Approach
Being a Math & Science Person who was never really good at math or science, I have the privilege of knowing first-hand what it's like to struggle through subjects and fighting the urge to give up. There's no shame in asking for help, and I believe the biggest failure of a mentor is a student feeling like he or she is an inconvenience for asking questions. The most effective way to learn is to be guided in the right direction while being allowed enough space to find the solution yourself.

Calculus 2 Tutoring
Calculus II is perhaps the most important of the Calc courses, and not a day goes by that I don't see it. I haven't stopped using Calc II since I took the summer intensive course in 2015.
Chemistry I Tutoring
College GenChem can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Since this is the course for which I give review sessions as part of PLU Honors Society, I'm generally familiar with what students struggle with the most and what explanations work best. I was an A student in the course, and the information is fresh as I still have to access it at a higher level for my major.
Chemistry II Tutoring
As with Chemistry I, not only did I get an A in the undergrad course, I consistently utilize these topics at an advanced level for my current classes.
Reading Comprehension Tutoring
As a veteran of both the MCAT and SAT, difficult reading passages on both standardized exams and school assignments. Additionally, while I was pre-med, my major was in Sociology which rested on analysis and characterization of written texts.
Study Skills Tutoring
As a former pre-med and current engineering student, my academic performance entirely depends on time management, organization, and maximizing study time efficiency. I've learned the hard way what works and what doesn't.
