I am a physicist in the process of becoming a teacher. I received my B.S. in physics with a concentration in astrophysics from UC Irvine, did graduate coursework in astronomy at San Francisco State University, and have been accepted into the teaching residency program at Alder Graduate School of Education to earn a teaching credential and Master's in education.
I worked as a peer tutor teaching introductory physics for three years at UC Irvine, and at SFSU, I worked as a graduate teaching assistant for introductory physics and astronomy. I have additionally worked as a substitute teacher and after school tutor in the Sacramento area, so I have experience in a wide array of subjects and grade/age levels.
I love physics, math, and astronomy, and I'm passionate about helping others understand these subjects. I believe that everyone is capable of proficiency and even mastery with hard work and the right teacher. With students who are struggling, I try to find gaps in their knowledge and work to fill in and reinforce those gaps before building back to their expected level of knowledge, but most of all, I work to empathize with students, bolster their confidence, and find ways to relate material to their passions and goals.
