I am currently pursuing degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, which has given me a strong foundation in mathematics, like calculus and differential equations, as well as core sciences like physics. My coursework spans both theoretical and applied STEM disciplines, equipping me to explain complex concepts in accessible ways to students at a variety of levels.
My teaching experience spans both university and K–12 settings. I have served as a teaching assistant for a university-level materials science course, supporting a cohort of over 160 students through weekly recitations and one-on-one office hours. In that role, I mentor students through challenging topics such as crystal structures, phase diagrams, and mechanical properties, while delivering constructive feedback on assignments and exams. Prior to that, I completed an internship as a teaching assistant at Twain Elementary School, where I worked with elementary students in a classroom setting, leading group discussions and designing individualized learning activities to reinforce STEM concepts.
Across both settings, I prioritize meeting students where they are, breaking down abstract ideas into concrete, relatable examples, and adjusting my approach based on each student's pace and learning style. Whether working one-on-one or in a group, my goal is to build genuine understanding and confidence, not just familiarity with the right answers.
