I am a first-generation American citizen and was raised with a strong appreciation for education and the opportunities it affords. I had an interest in STEM from a young age and eventually pursued a degree in Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh. Later, while working in R&D, I completed my MBA at Case Western Reserve University and then a certificate in Data Analytics from Cornell University. I now work for a scientific non-profit and am passionate about helping students with an interest in science and math. I believe STEM careers are vital to solving global problems and are the key to a brighter future for mankind. Of course, I also have an appreciate for the arts I play flute and piano and have tutored students in music. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, yoga, going for walks and spending time with my friends and family.
