When I was growing up, I absolutely hated math. My math classes were either too easy or so difficult I would be too stressed out to appreciate what I was learning. In addition, I didn’t even have a female math teacher until my senior year of high school. However, despite this, in high school I enrolled in an advanced calculus class, and I started meeting with a tutor outside of classes. This tutor showed me that math doesn’t have to be stressful, and that instead every problem can be viewed as a fun puzzle I have yet to crack. I began to love math so much I decided to pursue a career in it. Now, as a college student, I want to share this love and passion with other students who may feel the same as I did. I love helping others discover the joy of mathematics and all it’s wonderful applications. When I’m not doing my math homework, I’m probably either doing research on Artificial Intelligence or going to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes!
