About

"Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you'll be able to see further." - Thomas Carlyle With a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a current pursuit of an M.S. in Cyber Security and Privacy at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, my role as a Math Instructor at C2 Education and Mathnasium has been a fusion of education and technology. My core competencies lie in problem-solving, clear communication, and effective project management. Previously, as a researcher and presenter at the Honors Summer Research Institute, I honed my technical skills by creating scripts to analyze data, ensuring our research was robust and verifiable. At Mountain Ridge Country Club, my innovative strategies as a tennis coach and counselor contributed to the growth and development of young athletes. Our team's collaborative approach to strategy and scheduling, alongside my commitment to continuous improvement, underscores my dedication to excellence and aligns with my current organization's values of empowering and educating the next generation.
