I graduated from a small state school in the middle of no where Maryland called St. Mary's College of Maryland with a BS in both Mathematics and Computer Science. During my time there, I served as both a paid tutor and teaching assistant for a variety of subjects ranging from Calculus, Data Structures and Algorithms, Computer Architecture, and my personal favorites, Linear and Abstract Algebra. Not only that, I also won the department award in 2019 for my active role in our small community and my achievements in the classroom. I was the type of student that taught myself how to use LaTeX because I thought it would be fun to turn in my assignments that way! My favorite thing about St. Mary's was the meaningful connections I made with my professors and colleges while discussing what I love the most: Math! I used to sit in the math lounge for hours working on assignments with friends, chatting with professors about interesting things in the field and helping anyone I could that was stuck on something.

These days, I work as a Software Engineer for the US Department of Defense with a primary focus on Full Stack Web Development. Ask me about Django and I'll go on for hours! I love my job as I feel it is extremely fast paced, interesting and fulfilling to help give back to my country in the best way I can. It really is incredible that I have to opportunity to provide such an important service while getting to express myself through UI/UX design, building databases and writing the best code I can.

However, I must admit that I miss forming connections with people and seeing the little light bulbs in their heads turn on when they finally have a break through. Its something that I simply cannot get outside of teaching and is why I am looking to help you achieve your goals! There is nothing I would enjoy more than to sit with you one on one and discuss trig substitution, cyclomatic complexity, group theory, cryptography, web design, the history of mathematics and computing and everything else you are interested in!
