About me

I grew up in Germantown, Philadelphia and attended Central HS. I got my BS from Temple '09, after changing majors several times (Biochem to Biophysics to Physics) and I was able to spend a semester at Temple's Japan Campus, almost changing my major again to stay in Japan. I received my MS from Drexel in '10.

While in Japan, I had the opportunity to tutor fellow classmates and visit a number of high schools to give presentations about a variety of topics. The experience of being able to help others and introduce new material to them made me want to make teaching my career.
