Bio

Last month, I graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University with Bachelors in Geosciences and a minor in French. At Princeton, I've taken many math courses, including calculus I-III, linear algebra, and statistics / probability. I also have experience with programming in Python, R, and Java. Furthermore, I've taken courses in advanced French language and style, French history, and the phonetics of the French language, and I've lived in France for a month.

Last month, I graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University with Bachelors in Geosciences and a minor in French. At Princeton, I've taken many math courses, including calculus I-III, linear algebra, and statistics / probability. I also have experience with programming in Python, R, and Java. Furthermore, I've taken courses in advanced French language and style, French history, and the phonetics of the French language, and I've lived in France for a month. I've also taken introductory / intermediate French, so I'm happy to tutor students in all levels of French. I took a year of German at Princeton, and I worked in Germany for 2 months last summer, so I am also happy to tutor students in German up to the intermediate level. I can also tutor American history, English, music (piano and introductory music theory). and SAT/ACT prep.

For my major, I took courses in ocean physics (ocean gyres, ocean circulation, ocean-atmospheric heat fluxes), atmospheric dynamics (atmospheric circulation, convection, modes of interannual variability such as El Nino Southern Oscillation, etc.) If anyone is taking college-level courses or has a general interest in these areas, I am happy to teach these topics as well!

I have experience explaining concepts from my calculus classes to peers and working through problems with them, as well as tutoring high school chemistry informally. These experiences of helping my peers, and other instances when I asked for help from peers, teachers, and professors have taught me the importance of not only finding someone who knows a subject well, but finding someone who can explain that subject clearly. I've felt lost or out of my depth in a lecture before, and I know how frustrating that can be. As a tutor, my goal is not only to explain the concepts clearly to you, but ultimately to show you that the subject you're struggling with doesn't have to be frustrating or confusing - it can be fun!

Earth Science

Earth Science

I graduated from Princeton University magna cum laude with bachelor of arts in Geosciences (on the Oceans, Atmosphere, and Climate track). I've taken courses in oceanography (ocean physics, ocean gyres, ocean circulations, ocean waves, biogeochemical tracers in the ocean), atmospheric circulations and processes (atmospheric convection, ocean-atmospheric heat fluxes), modes of interannual variability such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and intraseasonal variability such as the Madden Julian Oscillation. I've also taken courses on the effect of climate change on natural disasters and other natural hazards (i.e. heat waves, extreme flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts) and the extent to which the exacerbation of natural hazards is attributable to anthropogenic forcing. I wrote my senior thesis on the effect of the Madden Julian Oscillation on the probability of rapid intensification of hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. I also minored in sustainable energy, and I've taken courses on renewable technologies, the economic, political, and technical constraints and considerations of the energy transition, geoengineering, and engineering, economics, and regulation in the electricity sector.

Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I just graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University, and I had to write many essays throughout my time at Princeton. My senior thesis, a 65-paged work on the effect of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on the Probability of Rapid Intensification of Tropical Cyclones, was the culmination of my studies at Princeton. I also took AP English Literature and AP English Language in high school and did well in both of them.

French Horn

French Horn

I've played French horn since the age of 10 and I've participated in several orchestras and honor bands / orchestras. I was selected to play in the concert band for the National Association for Music Education twice (in 2018 and 2020), and I was selected as first horn for the Honors Performance Series which performed in Carnegie Hall in February 2020 and in Musikverein in Vienna in July 2022. I also played French horn for 4 years in the Princeton University Orchestra and was their principal horn for 2 years.
General Music

General Music

I've played piano for 16 years and French horn for 12. I've been selected to play French horn at Carnegie Hall (Honors Performance Series, Feb 2020) and at Musikverein in Vienna (July 2022). I also participated in the Princeton University Orchestra for 4 years. I participated in many piano competitions throughout high school and was selected for the 279th concert of the Junior Philharmonic Society of New Orleans in March 2019. I participated in the Princeton Pianists Ensemble at Princeton University. I also sing and participated in Kindred Spirit, a Christian a cappella group at Princeton, during my senior year.
German

German

I've taken 1 year of college-level German (101 and 102) at Princeton University and received a Book Prize from the Princeton University Department of German for my performance in German 102. I've also lived in Germany for 2 months and worked at a German-speaking office as part of the Ruhr Fellowship, which sends a cohort of American college students to complete internships in the Ruhr area of Germany.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have extensive experience writing personal statements for college, graduate school, scholarships, and fellowships. I was recently admitted into a graduate program at Stanford University with a significant scholarship, and I was also offered a full tuition waiver from the Technical University of Denmark. Both of these achievements were mostly the result of the personal statements I included in my application. I also qualified as a Semifinalist for the Fulbright Scholarship, which depended heavily on the personal statements I submitted.
Piano

Piano

I've played piano for 12 years and won several competitions, including being selected to perform at the 279th concert of the Junior Philharmonic Society of New Orleans (March 10th, 2019). I was also a member of the Princeton Pianists Ensemble at Princeton University.
