Biography

I am a proud east-coaster turned west-coaster: I grew up in Purchase, New York and moved to the Bay Area at the start of 2025. I have loved school for as long as I can remember, to the point my parents had to force me to stay home when I was sick. I attended boarding school at Choate Rosemary Hall, where I loved that learning spilled over into all hours of the day through extracurriculars like debate and student government. For college, I went to Northwestern University where I studied a BA in Economics and MS in Energy and Sustainability.

I first started tutoring in high school as a peer tutor and a volunteer mentor for middle-schoolers to support study habits. I also have 2 years’ experience tutoring student-athletes at Northwestern in Economics, Statistics, and Latin. My approach in working with students is to help improve confidence in their abilities by reviewing concepts and practice problems, particularly those that challenge them. My goal is that students can enjoy the subject and take pride in their skills as they gain confidence in the material. The best part about tutoring for me is connecting with students one on one and seeing them flourish as they tackle difficult concepts. I also help students develop strong study habits by building unique organizational and time management systems together.

In my free time, I enjoy knitting, playing ultimate frisbee, and exploring the Bay Area’s nature. A fun fact about me is that I lived in Sydney, Australia, for two years.
