Ever since I began teaching as an undergraduate at UC Berkeley, teaching has been one of my main passions. My greatest strength and joy is to find ways to explain difficult material in an easily approachable manner such that anybody can learn it. This philosophy extends to all aspects of my life: teaching, writing, coding, etc.
