About Lucky


Bio

Hello,
I’m Lucky. I’m earning my Master’s in Museum Studies through CUNY SPS because taking complex concepts and making them accessible is important to me. Learning should be fun and for the sake of knowledge, not rooted in stress. On the Knack platform, I tutored 60+ Fordham students in science, math, and core courses both virtually and in person.

At Fordham, I double majored in Physics and English (with a concentration in Creative Writing) and was in the Honors program. I participated...

Hello,
I’m Lucky. I’m earning my Master’s in Museum Studies through CUNY SPS because taking complex concepts and making them accessible is important to me. Learning should be fun and for the sake of knowledge, not rooted in stress. On the Knack platform, I tutored 60+ Fordham students in science, math, and core courses both virtually and in person.

At Fordham, I double majored in Physics and English (with a concentration in Creative Writing) and was in the Honors program. I participated in a summer research program at Notre Dame where I was in a Galactic Archaeology research group and am a coauthor on a paper detailing the results of the project, which has been submitted to Nature Communications.

In the classroom, I was a teacher's assistant for 50+ 5th-8th graders during the school year, and 100+ rising 8th graders over three summer programs.

I have volunteered 250+ hours for the New York Marine Rescue Center in both the education center - where I teach guests of all ages, backgrounds, and education levels - and in the hospital, where I work hands-on with the sea turtles and seals. Not only is it the most fulfilling experience of my life, it has also refined my educator skills. I am highly adept at switching vocabulary levels, comparisons, and teaching styles to ensure information is clear and accessible to visitors, while still using terminology that maintains accuracy during discovery-based learning. I have refined the engaging tone for talking to children, that doesn't talk down to them, but lets them know that their questions are important.

I’m a writer and a photographer. In the Creative Writing Concentration, I took several writing courses and craft classes, and participated in several writing workshop groups. I’ve spent the time since undergrad studying the craft and critique swapping with other writers as I edit my manuscript, Johnny Outlaw: The Man With No Past. As a photographer, I take professional headshots and pictures of merchandise that are used for company advertisements.

Approved Subjects

Astronomy

Astronomy

My first love was space and that love led me to studying Physics at Fordham where I wrote an Honors Senior Thesis on data processing techniques used for Red Giant Star Emission Spectroscopy. I participated in a summer research program at Notre Dame, where I was in a galactic archaeology research group. That work has culminated in me presenting at the 2023 National Virtual REU poster conference and being coauthor on a paper that has been submitted to Nature Communications. I have tutored several college students in Astronomy and helped all of them increase their understanding of the cosmos (and raise their grades).
Calculus

Calculus

I graduated from Fordham after studying Physics, over my time there I took 8 math classes - four of which where Calculus 1 and 2, and Multivariable Calc 1 and 2 - and covered increasingly advanced/high level math (e.g using Laplace transforms to solve second order differential equations) in my Physics courses. I have tutored dozens of Fordham students in Calc and helped all of them increase their understanding of the course (and raise their grades). I am highly adept at helping students find any foundational gaps from previous levels of math and working with students to fill those gaps.
Creative Writing

Creative Writing

In undergrad, I majored in English with a Concentration in Creative Writing. I have written and am editing a 300 page novel, Johnny Outlaw: The Man With No Past. I will be querying the novel for publication, have self-published short stories and poems online, and written comedy and personal essays. One of my first loves was storytelling and have devoted myself to the craft for years, studying the technical aspects of prose and structure and the emotional aspects of characterization; I believe everyone has stories to tell and want to help other writers advance their abilities just like other writers have helped me.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I have years of experience volunteering in the classroom and in informal education. I spent three summers as a teacher’s assistant for an elementary school summer program (Xavier High School’s Higher Achievement Program), where over the course of the three summers, I was directly responsible for over 100+ students a group of 30+ students over 6 weeks. I created and taught lesson plans, facilitated and guided group discussions, taught study skills, assisted in preparing students for standardized testing, and led groups while on field trips where I was solely responsible for the students and their safety at The Intrepid, The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and the American Museum of Natural History. During the school year, I spent several months as a teacher's assistant at George Jackson Academy. My responsibilities at George Jackson Academy included everything I did during HAP, with the additions of grading and tutoring students individually. Over the last year and a half, I have volunteered 300+ hours at the NY Marine Rescue Center where I volunteer in both the education center and the hospital. When volunteering in the education center, using discovery based learning, I primarily teach children and educate school groups and camps during field trips. I teach them about the animals in the hospital and the mission of the center to rehabilitate these animals so they can be released back into the ocean. I am highly adept at finding the right vocabulary and metaphors to explain information and concepts while maintaining accuracy. I have refined the engaging tone for talking to children that lets them know that their questions and curiosities are important without talking down to them.
English

English

In undergrad, I majored in English with a Concentration in Creative Writing. Since graduating from college, I have been studying the craft of writing, on the technical level (focusing on syntax, verbiage, and mastering an engaging flow for the reader) and the narrative level. I have written and am editing a 300 page novel, Johnny Outlaw: The Man With No Past - for an idea of what the story is like, imagine if Star Wars met The Bourne Identity, but Darth Vader died in the first 15 minutes; I will be querying the novel for publication, have self-published short stories and poems online, and written comedy and personal essays. One of my first loves was storytelling and have devoted myself to the craft for years; I believe everyone has stories to tell and want to help other writers advance their abilities just like other writers have helped me.
