"I studied Economics, Information Systems, and Mathematics at Fairfield University, where I obtained my Bachelor's degree. I then completed my Masters in Software Engineering. Throughout that time I was tutoring my peers in all 3 aforementioned subjects. I tutored about 5 students a semester, and met with each weekly. We worked on problem sets as well as solidifying a concrete understanding of major micro and macro economic concepts.

I was accepted into Teach For America, a highly selective program (10% of applicants are accepted) aimed at ending educational inequity by training people to teach in impoverished neighborhoods.
