Teaching & Mentoring Experience
Over the past 2 years, I have mentored 30+ high-school students on rigorous, 1-on-1, multi-month research projects, culminating in acceptance/submission of their work to prestigious high-school research journals. Topics have covered computer science, machine learning, AI, data science, and statistics. Prior to that, I co-founded a tutoring company for elementary-through-highschool students, covering math, programming, writing, music, and history.
