I am currently an undergraduate at Princeton, most likely majoring in Environmental Engineering or the Geosciences. I am very passionate about the environment and am quick to pick up any sustainability cause – whether it be environmental activism or spreading the virtues of composting, recycling, and eating a plant-based diet. I love spending time outdoors running, biking or walking. I also enjoy playing the piano, baking, and writing. Academically, I enjoy a challenge – whether it's physics, writing, chemistry, or math – I feel as though solving a problem is one of the most fulfilling experiences.

As for tutoring philosophy, I really enjoy helping others out: teaching others how to grasp a deeper concept is not just a "job but rather is a fulfilling and encouraging experience especially when you can be an emotional support for a student and simply be someone they can trust.
