Experience
After graduating from Purdue with degrees in actuarial science and statistics plus a minor in management, I worked one year as a consulting actuary before making a complete change and deciding to become an optometrist. My reasoning for this is that I love to help people of all ages and working in optometry made that possible. My math background proves extensive. Combined with my natural propensity for numbers, these factors gave me insight into how to reveal the connection between the language of math and real world scenarios, including scenarios that occur on many types of jobs. I developed this skill while working as an actuary, and it's never failed me. It makes it possible for me to explain detailed math concepts to people who fear math, of which there are many. It also makes it possible to work with people who missed out on basic math skills due to a faulty introduction early in life. I make sure my students really grasp these concepts by testing them. Some of the subjects I tutor include Discrete Math, Elementary Math, Homework Support, Math, ACT, and Test Prep.Outside of my math adventures, I love to travel, dance, and attend live music concerts.
