Bio

I am a former course instructor at the University of Michigan who has taught over 150 students in Statistics and Data Science. I seek to promote scientific education and research on a greater scale.

All learners deserve to have access to the knowledge preserved by leaders and professionals. This is my temperament, and I strongly believe that my previous teaching and mentoring experience at a university level can help democratize such knowledge.

My Proudest
Achievements

• My first proudest achievement is to be a reference for several of my students who are applying for universities, industry jobs, and graduate schools.
• My second proudest achievement is to serve both the roles of an educator and developer at an Education Technology company.
