I graduated from Hartwick College with degrees in Physics, Mathematics, and Music (piano performance). I then completed a Master of Arts in Physics from the University of Rochester. I have been teaching for the past five years in various capacities, including tutoring, laboratory work, and lecturing. I have worked with students from around the world and believe that every student can learn any material, as long as it is appropriately presented and synthesized. I teach students to understand themselves better in the contexts of desired or required academic material. My mission is to integrate all of my studies to find a comprehensive way to help all people accomplish their goals. In my spare time, I love playing music at hospitals, hiking, participating in triathlons, and playing with my puppy.
