About Me
I enjoy tutoring because I want to see others succeed in their studies. Being a student as well, I understand the hours and dedication it takes to learn something new, and I want to encourage others in that process. Additionally, I find it so fun to get to know students throughout tutoring sessions! As for my own interests, outside of academics I enjoy playing basketball and running track at MIT. I additionally enjoy pursuing a variety of hobbies, including hiking, pickle ball, crochet, pinball, waterskiing, and learning new skills. From an academic standpoint, my favorite subject is physics, and I’ve especially enjoyed taking classical mechanics, special relativity, and electricity and magnetism so far at MIT.

Tutoring Experience
In addition to independently helping friends with homework assignments from time to time, I was a peer tutor through my school during my junior and senior year of high school. I enjoyed getting to know and tutor my fellow classmates through this program.
Philanthropy / Volunteering Experience
I enjoyed being a Special Olympics Volunteer during my high school years. I would attend weekly basketball and volleyball practices and would also help in tournaments throughout the season.
Here at MIT, I have continued to serve the special needs community through Little Beavers, a running program for athletes with special needs. I enjoy getting to know the athletes that I have gotten to work with over the years and am also inspired by their positive attitudes and work ethic!
