Interests
My interests include reading, photography, expanding my knowledge in the sciences, and learning new techniques to further my ability to educate students, as well as learning new ways to demonstrate important topics to students.
I also enjoy demonstrating the fun found in science and learning to young children through outreach programs, encouraging students to continue in their education.
Tutoring has always been one of my passions as it allows my love of teching to grow and seeing a student understand a difficult topic that they beleived was out of their reach to be one of the most rewarding experiences imaginable.
