Shannon

 

Throughout high school and college, I have tutored and mentored students of all ages, and am proud that working with students has become a part of my identity. As a tutor, I have experience with teaching math of different levels, as well as with SAT prep and college counseling.

As for my academic interests, I’m from Silicon Valley and attended a STEM-focused public high school, so I have a background in the sciences. I’m also a grateful graduate of the Girls Who Code program. Since coming to Princeton for undergrad, however, I have developed an interest in Classics, particularly in Greek and Ancient Philosophy. Currently, I’m an economics major with a Classics minor, but I came to Princeton on the pre-medical, chemical engineering path. As such, I have a wide array of academic interests and am passionate about sharing my excitement for different subjects with my students.

Outside of academics, I enjoy running, playing rugby, and watching food documentaries.
