Fun Facts

I have taught English through a volunteer program in Italy and have solo-traveled a large part of Europe. I love rock climbing and bouldering. I make music for fun in my off time. I've worked in a chess academy. Overall, I would consider myself a bit of a renaissance man!

About Me

I am a senior psychology major at California Southern University, where my focus has been cognitive psychology. I am a Neurofeedback/TMS Technician (transcranial magnetic stimulation). I will be seeking my Ph.D. in cognitive psychology after finishing the last semester of my bachelor's degree. Other than that, I am a loving cat dad to two little kittens with my loving girlfriend Ashlie!

Experience

I was the DECA president of my high school through which I learned quality leadership skills. In my collegiate career, I ran several study groups for Behavioral Neuroscience, Japanese, and English. I have had several jobs dedicated to instruction, such as teaching English, teaching chess, and currently, I run psychoeducation and group therapy sessions. I dedicate my life to education which is how I’ve developed lifelong learning and lifelong teaching fundamental aspects of life.

Approach

Growing up, I didn't have anybody in my life to show me the importance of education. Once I entered my college years, I was inspired by my professors and fellow students, who helped me to develop a deep passion for education. I came to learn that education is one key to success, and I realized that helping others to learn is helping them to realize their full potential. I apply that concept to my tutoring to connect with my students, and solve problems in the now and for the future!
