Hobbies
Science, Hiking, Music (Cello, Guitar, Electric Bass), Sports (Track, Soccer, Rugby), and Reading Science, teaching, and the outdoors are my greatest passions. I find it easy to get excited about the wonders of the natural world and take great joy in sharing this excitement through teaching and tutoring. I am an avid musician who can play the cello, guitar, and electric bass and have played sports my whole life, including track and field, soccer, rugby, and lacrosse. I have also spent significant time teaching abroad in Myanmar, through which I learned important skills for teaching science to students who speak English as a second or third language.
