I hold a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Minnesota State University and currently teach 5th grade science and mathematics in a classroom setting. My academic background in physics provided extensive training in algebra, geometry, data analysis, and problem-solving, while my teaching experience has strengthened my ability to explain complex concepts in clear, age-appropriate ways. I regularly design hands-on lessons and structured activities that help students move beyond memorization and truly understand the reasoning behind mathematical and scientific ideas.
In addition to my classroom experience, I have worked as a Physics Teaching Assistant at the university level, where I supported students in laboratory settings and guided them through experimental procedures, calculations, and troubleshooting. This role required me to break down multi-step problems, identify misconceptions, and help students develop analytical thinking skills. I have also assisted with astronomy night programs, helping students and members of the public observe and understand basic astronomical concepts through guided discussion.
Across these experiences, I have worked with elementary students, college students, and adult learners. Whether in a classroom, laboratory, or one-on-one setting, my approach focuses on building confidence and independent problem-solving skills. I aim to help students understand not just how to complete a problem, but why each step works, so they can apply their knowledge independently in future academic settings.
