STEM - science math technology engineering

New York City

  • I own backyard chickens!
  • I won a huge science competition and got to present my research to the army/navy in Huntsville, Alabama
  • I speak 4 languages - 3 fluently and 1 conversationally.

As an enthusiastic and versatile STEM educator, I bring a wealth of experience in teaching a diverse range of subjects, from foundational sciences like chemistry, physics, and biology, to advanced mathematics, engineering, and engaging coding activities. With a proven track record of successfully instructing students both one-on-one and in classroom settings, I am committed to fostering a dynamic learning environment where curiosity thrives and critical thinking flourishes. My approach to teaching is centered on hands-on, experiential learning, where students are encouraged to explore, question, and discover the fascinating world of STEM disciplines. By integrating real-world applications and interdisciplinary connections, I aim to inspire a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in our daily lives. With a passion for sustainability and environmental science, I strive to instill in my students a sense of environmental stewardship and a drive to tackle pressing global challenges through innovative solutions. Whether guiding students through complex mathematical concepts, conducting captivating experiments, or guiding them in the creation of their own coding projects, I am dedicated to empowering the next generation of STEM leaders with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
