"I am an astrophysics research professional (BS Astrophysics, BS Math, MS Electrical Engineering) who enjoys discussing science and math with motivated students. I graduated with a 4.0/4.0 from the University of Oklahoma. I have earned national recognition as an Astronaut Scholar and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. I am a published author in astronomy for novel contributions to the study of black holes. I have 5+ years of tutoring experience with undergraduate STEM students in one-on-one settings. I have significant experience both in face-to-face and online instruction. I have successfully guided students in a variety of subjects including calculus, discrete math, linear algebra, and physics. I am particularly passionate about leading discussion based lessons that build an intuition for math and physics concepts through an understanding of first principles.

I take an individualized approach to tutoring. After agreeing to work with a student, I design lessons to compliment coursework and aid in studying. My particular focus is on empowering students to grapple with difficult questions. I believe that success in physics and math is determined more by developing a disciplined mindset than by memorizing equations.
