Education

B.S. Chemical Engineering and B.A. Physics, University of Virginia M.S. Materials Science and Engineering, Stanford University

Experience

While at Stanford for my engineering master's, I spent two years as a graduate teaching assistant in the Stanford Physics Department, taught six different courses spanning subjects of Mechanics, E&M, and Modern Physics, was the head teaching assistant for two of those courses, and won the Stanford Centennial Teaching Assistant Award. I've always enjoyed teaching, I've tutored math and chemistry prior to coming out to the bay area, and I'm looking forward to working with students to help them see that math, chemistry and physics, these traditionally dreadful subjects, are not as bad as they seem. I'm also adept at statistics and economics.

Hobbies

I currently work as a researcher and engineer at a small Li-ion battery company, and I'm interested in all things related to renewable energy and sustainability technologies. Outside of work, I enjoy practicing martial arts, playing basketball, and traveling. People would describe me as being incredibly patient, professional, and knowledgeable, and I love working with students to inspire them in their studies and help them reach their full potential.
