"I work full-time as an electronics engineer and I attend graduate school part-time for my Master's Degree (M.S.) in Electrical Engineering with a graduate minor in Mechanical Engineering from Iowa State University (ISU). As an undergraduate, I attended Northern Illinois University (NIU) where I graduated in May 2016 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering with two minors in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics and an undergraduate Certificate of Study in Nanotechnology.

From my time at NIU, I also have a small background in education, having been a Teacher's/Teaching Assistant (TA) for an undergraduate mechanical engineering course while I was a senior at NIU, working both semesters on that course. This job meant that I had to patiently work with students who may have struggled with the subject and I had to spend additional time outside of class refreshing my knowledge on the course's subject matter.

Being an engineer, I am immersed in science and mathematics all the time. I have worked heavily to gain a strong background in the hard sciences and mathematics, even completing undergraduate minors, and I am patient enough to teach these subjects slowly and thoroughly. I also have a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, and am working towards an M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, so I come in with a very full background that can help me to cover more aspects of mathematics and the hard sciences for students." less...
