I graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Bioinformatics, and I currently work as an electrical engineer at Microsoft. My academic background gave me a strong foundation across mathematics, physics, circuit design, programming, and data-driven sciences, and my professional experience has deepened that knowledge in a real-world context. Whether a student is working through algebra for the first time or tackling advanced engineering coursework, I have both the theoretical grounding and practical expertise to guide them effectively.

My teaching experience includes a year of hands-on instruction in electrical engineering design at the college level, where I worked directly with students in a lab and project-based environment. In that role, I helped students bridge the gap between classroom concepts and real-world application — breaking down complex topics, troubleshooting their thinking, and building their confidence step by step. I believe the best learning happens when a student feels heard, so I always start by listening to understand where they are and what they need, then tailor my approach accordingly.

I am excited to work with students of all ages and backgrounds, not just those pursuing engineering. I enjoy making challenging subjects approachable and meeting students wherever they are in their learning journey. My goal in every session is simple: to leave the student with a clearer understanding than when we started, and the confidence to keep going on their own.

Electrical Engineering

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from UCLA, where I built a strong foundation in circuit analysis, signals and systems, embedded systems, electromagnetics, and digital design. Professionally, I work as an electrical engineer at Microsoft on the Surface products, where I apply and expand on that academic foundation in a fast-paced, industry-leading environment. Beyond my professional work, I spent a year teaching college students how to build an electrocardiogram from scratch, guiding them through the full design process — from concept and simulation to physical implementation and troubleshooting.
