Hobbies
While I may sound like a prototypical science nerd, what I truly love is sharing my knowledge with others. I have a deep passion for education and learning, and subsequently hold the belief that every child can succeed. In my spare time, I love baking, reading, writing, watching deliciously addictive TV shows, running, playing volleyball and taking day trips to the coast. I am an incredibly academically driven student and very patient, supportive and organized tutor.
