Experience
I strive to get the aha moment; I enjoy working with students to help them understand topics in STEM that under normal circumstances are unclear. I currently tutor 2 students in College as a private tutor, and I work in industry as a Data Analyst for a private company. My courses surrounded high level mathematics and advanced topics in computer science. In industry, my job involves statistical forecasting, scientific analysis on data sets, and decision support for executive level employees in my business.

Hobbies
I have a strong passion for astronomy, basketball, and many other sports. I am the eldest of 5 in my family, so a hallmark of my personality is patience. I once struggled with difficult topics myself when I was in grade school, my tutor was very helpful and it was my tutors patience that made the difference. Now, after learning independently for 5 years, I realized that students tend to make different mistakes when learning topics. It is never the fault of the student. Instead, finding the learning style of the student by finding topics that relate and encourage learning is the way to go. When I'm not tutoring, I'm spending time with my family, and playing basketball
