Hi, I'm Cynthia! I am originally from the Bay Area but currently reside in the great city of New York!

I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern California with a degree in Business Administration - Finance. I spent 5 years in the video game industry leading finance operations for AAA titles, before moving into the cybersecurity space. Outside of my professional career, I am a huge history aficionado - my dad was an archaeologist, and he instilled a love of history and culture in me that remains to this day. I'm also a part time musician and writer, specializing in keyboard & freeform essays.

My collegiate academic experience was extremely enriching, and I think a huge reason for this was due to the quality of the academic staff. First, I appreciated how accessible they were during office hours, where I could get live feedback on projects I was working on or ask follow up questions. Second, I appreciated how tutors were able to change their teaching style in order to accommodate the learning preferences of each individual student. These are two fundamental values that I incorporate in my teaching. I will always seek to always go the extra mile for my students and love to simplify complex topics into easily digestible pieces for better learning.

I have had a lot of tutoring experience teaching both on an individual and group basis. In college, I volunteered my time as a part time tutor, working 1:1 with athletes and other students on topics such as economics, mathematics, history, and finance. I've also provided 1:1 resume reviews and interview prep for both new and first-year college grads in the workforce, essay reviews for prospective college students on both an undergrad/grad level, and also have experience in group settings running career development workshops for groups of 10-15 young professionals.

I am easy to reach and a fast responder, so please feel free to reach out with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!

Career Development

I have provided extensive resume reviews and interview preparation for my clients that have landed jobs in the healthcare, tech, entertainment, music, and gaming industries. I try to leverage my own experience as a hiring manager to provide tips and constructive feedback on how to approach an interview. I also mentor several college students through my old organization's alumni network, helping them decide what extracurriculars to pursue and what courses to take to maximize their learning potential during the college years.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

A huge aspect of my job is to build out executive-level presentations and present the material in executive meetings to ensure my projects have an appropriate level of funding to reach their deliverables. I have also given product presentations to audiences of over 500 people at company all hands, both in virtual and in person environments. I am also an avid performer, having done both spoken word and improve comedy performances to audiences through cultural showcases and open mic nights.
