"I hold a degree in Economics from James Madison University, where I gained a strong foundation in economic theory, financial principles, and political systems. In addition to my academic qualifications, I have over two years of professional experience working in Freddie Mac’s Investment and Capital Markets division. During this time, I developed expertise in financial analysis, investment strategies, and market dynamics, which directly inform my ability to teach these subjects with real-world applications.

Beyond my academic and professional background, I run a Substack newsletter called The Ripple Effect. Through this platform, I provide insights on politics and cultural criticism from the perspective of an African American immigrant. This experience has deepened my understanding of history and politics, while also sharpening my ability to communicate complex ideas in an accessible and engaging way. It has allowed me to develop a nuanced, culturally aware approach to teaching and discussing these topics.

My teaching experience includes informal tutoring for peers during university, where I focused on simplifying complex concepts in economics and finance through practical examples and analogies. While working at Freddie Mac, I mentored new team members and interns, guiding them through key financial models and analytical methods. These experiences honed my ability to break down challenging topics into digestible lessons tailored to the learner’s pace and background knowledge.

I am eager to bring this blend of academic knowledge, professional insight, and cultural perspective to tutoring students at both the high school and college levels. My approach emphasizes not only mastering the material but also fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills that can be applied across various disciplines. I aim to create an engaging and supportive environment that encourages curiosity and confidence in subjects like economics, finance, history, and politics." less...
