Real-world data scientist tutoring math, stats, physics, data science, and more.

About

I'm a data scientist and analytics leader with a B.S. in Civil & Environmental Engineering from UC Berkeley and over a decade of professional experience applying math and statistics, most recently as Director of Data Science at Pocket Gems.What sets me apart as a tutor: I've used this math throughout my career. Statistics, algebra, calculus, and physics are tools I've relied on to solve real problems, well beyond subjects I studied in school. So when a student asks "when will I ever use this?", I can give a genuine, specific answer.For six years, mentoring was a core part of my work: coaching colleagues one-on-one through complex quantitative material, leading group trainings for non-technical teams, and mentoring graduate interns pursuing their master's in data science. My approach: meet you exactly where you are, then build patiently from there.
