Fun Facts

I love dancing and traveling. I often travel overseas just to attend a dance festival. Whether it's taking ballet in Norway or Hip Hop in Austria, I love learning about a culture through the dancers I meet. Even if there is not a festival going on, I always try to find a dance studio in the city to take classes from.

About Me

I am currently a graduate student at Texas A&M University studying Applied Mathematics. I was previously working as an Actuarial analyst before deciding on attending graduate school. I had passed two actuarial exams while working at one of the largest actuarial consulting firms. Although I really enjoyed actuarial work, I found that I was more interested in Machine learning Algorithms.

Experience

During my undergraduate and before starting my career as an Actuary, I worked as a Math Tutor at Collin College for 6 years. I have tutored hundreds of students in various topics from Calculus to Chemistry to Physics; even helping pre-med students with their Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). One of the most memorable students came to me after receiving a 48 on his first Calculus exam. After spending the semester helping him, he received a 96 on his comprehensive Calculus final.

Approach

I understand how difficult it is to learn and stay focus on a subject that can be frustrating. I've experienced the glazed look during class when a teacher introduces a new topic. I have ADD and can completely relate. I enjoy trying to find the mental hurdle that prevents a student from understanding something and love seeing them get past that hurdle.
