I hold a B.S. in Chemistry from Florida State University and an M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of South Florida. My professional career as a licensed Professional Engineer focuses on mitigating flood hazards and strengthing our communities. My academic background gives me a strong foundation in math, chemistry, and technical problem-solving, which comes in handy when breaking down challenges into clear, manageable steps for students.
My teaching experience started as a student at FSU, where I spent two years teaching sailing to college students, which might seem unrelated to tutoring math or science, but taught me universal tenants for good mentorship: staying patient under pressure, breaking physical and technical skills into digestible pieces, and transforming theory into practical, succesfull application. I spent one year during my graduate studies at the USF Writing Studio tutoring undergraduate and graduate students on a wide range of assignments, from personal essays to technical reports to professional communications. That role taught me how to meet each student where they are, adapt my approach to different learning styles, and build confidence as they moved towards their goals.
What ties all of this together is a genuine passion for helping people learn. Whether it's untangling a tricky SAT math problem or explaining a chemistry concept in a new way, I love the moment when something finally clicks for a student and I look forward to bringing that same enthusiasm to every session with you.
