Hello! As a former teaching assistant in mathematics, I have experience supporting students in their learning journeys. I’m passionate about giving back to the STEM community by helping students understand challenging concepts in mathematics and physics. I firmly believe that with the right learning techniques and guidance, any student can succeed in their academic pursuits.

At NYU, I developed a deep interest in data science and machine learning. My senior thesis focused on researching a numerical optimization algorithm called the Kaczmarz algorithm, which I applied to a machine learning problem.

Outside of academics, I enjoy balancing my time between sports and the arts. I play soccer and tennis, and I also practice the guitar. I believe that staying active and engaging in creative pursuits are essential for enhancing cognitive abilities and critical thinking skills.
