I am an undergraduate student with a passion for educating others and conducting research. I believe that education empowers individuals to change the world for the better, and education is moreover supported by humanity's continuous search for new knowledge via academic and industrial research.
For my second summer working at Dahlgren, I am fulfilling the roles as a project designer on an agile team as well as a continuing researcher on the same geophysical team I was with in 2022. Software I help plan, design, and develop is currently being used by the US Navy to carry out critical responsibilities.
I designed elegant reports that present key information to the executive team at this Virginia-wide company. Additionally, I complete projects that utilize historical data to detect trends, share them with the executives, and propose solutions that ensure optimal results.
While a contractor, I developed a solution to a previously-unsolved problem in geophysical research. My results from this project are currently being used to strengthen the United States' defense systems.
I host private tutoring services to students, mostly at the high school level. Many of the students I work with are students of professors at VWU; I am recommended by the VWU math department, so my clientele continuously increases. I have tutored students in prealgebra, algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, precalculus, and AP Calculus BC.

During the school year, I teach the math and science curricula I prepare in the prior summer. I have created courses for algebra 1, geometry, chemistry, algebra 2, and physics. This is a homeschooled student, a child of a professor at VWU. We have worked together for a total of 3 school years.
I served as a tutor and assistant lecturer for a college algebra course during the accelerated January term.
GPA: 3.96
Within the field of mathematics, I have stronger interests particularly in topology and measure theory. Much of my current research is dedicated to the intersection of these two subjects, fascinating granted they are on opposite sides of the domain of mathematics. I am currently the primary author of an undergraduate-level textbook covering many of the contemporary discoveries with fractal geometries and the existing means of measuring them.
Apart from being a mathematician, I love spending my time writing and creating music. I am a violinist and pianist, although most of my focus goes towards music composition, especially for small ensembles. Yet I still perform as a concert violinist for various symphonies on the easy coast, and I am currently preparing for a performance of Vieuxtemps' 4th Violin Concerto.
Otherwise, I am a quite avid runner; I enjoy competing in cross-country and track for my school, primarily running 8K races for cross country, and for track, the 5000m and 10000m. During the winter months, I like going on skiing trips, but when I am in the mood for the more intense slopes, I am forced to travel to Colorado. As me and my friends say... "nothing but bunny slopes here!"
When my brain and body are too fatigued to engage in my energy-taxing hobbies, I enjoy binge-watching horror movies at home with friends and/or loved ones. However, it takes a lot to exhaust me to the point of spending a whole weekend indoors; I am usually looking for some kind of adventure!
