Experience
I graduated from the University of Washington in 2016, and until recently I was a software engineer in Redmond. I am now applying for graduate schools, and working as a part time math tutor in order to make time for the applications. Teaching has been a passion of mine for years. It is a wonderful way to make a difference in another person's academics while strengthening my own foundation. And since I'm intending to pursue mathematics, a strong foundation is exactly what I need right now.

Hobbies
I have been a swing dancer for 5+ years, and just recently started learning to tap dance. I also have a lot of interest in early jazz because of the dancing, and try to support the local jazz scene when I can. I am an avid fantasy and science fiction fan, often reading, watching, or playing anything related to the genres. Finally, I am a huge fan of science non-fiction, keeping up to date on developments in physics and astronomy whenever possible.
