New York City Metropolitan Area
As a second-year Mathematics and Computer Science student at Washington University in St. Louis, I’m interested in solving real-world problems using the theory and principles I learn from my classes. I have experience with data analysis and statistics from being a research intern at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, where I worked with an urban transportation lab to quantify the effects of different socioeconomic factors on why subway ridership remained low even after the COVID-19 pandemic ended. I was born and raised in New York City, a city with many educational opportunities. I’m passionate about helping others succeed academically, which is why I’ve worked as a volunteer, tutor, coach, teaching assistant, and counselor over the past few years. Working with students has taught me many lessons, but above all, I have learned the value of always continuing to learn. I am currently exploring different fields related to data analytics and software programming.
• Supported five or more students with exam preparation and assignment completion during course of office hours • Contributed to course instruction by leading weekly group coding assignments
• Created a positive summer camp experience for low-income students by facilitating daily activities and engaging with students academically to improve comprehension of college-level coursework • Organized weekly math competitions by selecting math problems, planning staff assignments, and communicating between students, counselors, and directors
• Prepared and executed weekly lessons and classes using LEGOs to introduce engineering and computer science to two through four young children • Coached team of five participants for FIRST Lego League robotics competition (achieved NYC finalists) by providing instructions on how to build and code robot to complete missions of robot game
• Instructed mathematics to groups of two through four students in grades kindergarten through 12 in one-hour sessions utilizing the Mathnasium curriculum • Assisted students one on one with homework completion and provided necessary support to assist with preparing for state tests such as SHSAT, NY Regents and SAT
• Conducted research at an NYU urban transportation lab, which informed me how research is produced from conception to presentation • Analyzed MTA data by using Excel, Python, and Tableau to evaluate causes for the post-pandemic decrease in NYC’s subway ridership
