Teaching. Tutoring. Thriving.

As a 74% extroverted verified ENFP, I love to talk. Conversing with peers, coaching others on new concepts, collaborating in exciting activities—here are some of my endeavors.

Need tutoring? As peer and private tutor I've:

Had 50+ hours of tutoring experience
Mentored: Math up to AP Calculus BC, AP Physics 1&2, AP English Language, Spanish, Japanese, etc.
Taught multiple international students English
Offered both online and in-person courses
- Core subjects, like the 3R's - reading, 'riting, 'rithmetic
- Extracurriculars such as academic debate
Simply enjoyed the process of explaining concepts, helping others connect the dots!

Conquering the Fear of Public Speaking

In the U.S., over 70% of people have a fear of public speaking.

I strive to help others to conquer that fear. As a 4-year member of Leland Speech and Debate, I've had the opportunity to debate in 30+ Public Forum and Congress tournaments. Sharing this same spirit, I hope to build the next generation of speakers—turning public speaking from a source of fear into a source of confidence and joy.

Assisting Students as a Kungfu TA

As assistant instructor at Shaolin Kungfu Zen, I have had the opportunity to train and mentor younger students as not just another teacher, but as a peer whom they can look up to. I started martial arts at 6 with Taekwondo, and switched to Chinese Wushu at 12; now, I'm fully immersed in helping around the studio and assisting the Shifus. It's blissful to watch the younger students grow and foster an appreciation of the culture and the sport.

HandsOnTech, an educational nonprofit

As former Director of Marketing for HandsOnTech, I was responsible for recording videos, designing flyers, and recruiting new students and TAs into our initiative.

While I have since stepped down as marketing director to pursue other engagements, I am still involved in the marketing team and have thoroughly enjoyed my time going to local enrichment schools, community centers, and public libraries to present the importance of digital literacy and computer competence.
