Teaching Style
I have made a strong commitment to a professional and enjoyable learning experience. I embody the idea that learning should be interesting and engaging. When a student faces difficulty I believe that a positive attitude and hard work can truly maximize anyone person's potential.
My Hobbies
I enjoy the outdoors, travel, all types of music (especially live), and quality time with friends and family.
