Aloha! I am a high school chemistry and physics teacher at the 'Iolani School in Honolulu and formerly at the Winsor School in Boston, both ranked among the top secondary schools in the nation. I hold an undergraduate degree in chemistry from Princeton and a master's degree in linguistics from Oxford, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in linguistics. I also studied medical engineering and medical physics at MIT.

I am deeply passionate about empowering students - particularly young women - to have confidence in their ability to excel in STEM. My tutoring specialties are chemistry, physics, linguistics, and standardized test prep. Whether you're looking for a short-term tune-up before a big test or whether you'd like to focus on more foundational concepts on a longer-term basis, please reach out! I will offer a limitless supply of terrible science puns for free. :)
