After graduating from Dartmouth College with a degree in Psychology, I decided to venture into the world of mathematics. I earned a Master's degree in Statistics from Rutgers University. I'm currently taking courses at Columbia University in mathematics and computer science because I feel that there is still (and always will be) more to learn.

I love learning about and teaching math and I hope I can impart my knowledge onto you to help you succeed in the classroom and develop an appreciation for the subject matter. Often students memorize formulas without understanding why or when they should apply that particular formula. I believe a deeper understanding of the subject material helps students to perform better and also maintains their interest in the material. Although my main concentration has been statistics, I also want to help students excel in algebra, calculus, and math for standardized tests (SAT/GRE).

In addition to my interest in mathematics, I am a huge baseball fan. My interest in baseball was the catalyst for earning a statistics degree in the first place! Besides baseball, I enjoy running, cooking, and spending time with friends and family.
