Chess, Strategy & Creative Problem Solving

Boston

  • Outside of chess, I work in cancer research and love learning how complex systems work.
  • I love finding creative and unexpected chess strategies — sometimes the most unusual move is the strongest one!

I’m a scientist and chess instructor who loves helping students of all ages grow their confidence, creativity, and strategic thinking through chess. I especially enjoy working with kids and showing them how chess can strengthen problem-solving, patience, and resilience in a fun and supportive way. Whether a student is just starting out or preparing for competition, I aim to make lessons engaging, personalized, and encouraging.
