Yale Graduate in
Cognitive Science

My fascination with neuroscience has been a constant thread throughout my life. At Yale, this interest led me to study Cognitive Science, where I explored learning from multiple perspectives—from evolutionary patterns in the Canine Cognition Lab to social learning mechanisms in the Computational Social Cognition Lab.

Beyond academics, I'm passionate about applying neuroscience principles to enhance learning, mood, and personal growth. This scientific approach to understanding how our brains work informs my tutoring methods, helping students not just learn material, but understand how they learn best.

My background in cognitive science and computational learning has given me unique insights into how we process and retain information. Through my study of cognitive science, I've learned how the brain builds robust neural pathways for quick and accurate problem-solving—precisely what the ACT demands from students.

This scientific foundation allows me to share the neuroscience of learning with my students, empowering them with insights into how their own minds work—a toolkit they'll use long after our sessions end.

As a recent Yale graduate with a 35 on the ACT, I understand what it takes to succeed in challenging academic environments. My own academic journey has equipped me with the knowledge and strategies needed to help students achieve their full potential on standardized tests and beyond.

Currently preparing for my master's program, I maintain an active commitment to continuing education and academic growth—values I aim to instill in my students.

While academics are my primary focus, I believe in maintaining a well-rounded lifestyle. I enjoy creating music and developing technology projects, including publishing an app on the App Store. These creative pursuits help me approach problems from different angles and connect with students on various levels.

Having grown up in Austin and now living in New Haven, I bring a broad perspective to my teaching, helping students see connections between their studies and the world around them.
