Experience
I would like to be your tutor to help you understand topics that don't quite make sense yet. I believe that everyone learns something new everyday. I have patience to sit and discuss a subject until you get it. I think learning takes practice and dedication. I get excited when you figure something out. I am a program analyst for the US Department of Agriculture in Preclearance and Offshore Programs. I work closely with representatives from other countries who import fruit and vegetables to the US. I have experience with AP courses as a student as well as math experience through partial differential equations. My science experience includes undergraduate courses in biology, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, organic chemistry, and mechanical engineering. My graduate course work included soil science, climate change, water quality, and agricultural economics.

Hobbies
I am a mom to 6 year old twins who are in a Montessori classroom. I am an avid reader of fiction and non-fiction. I trained in classical ballet for 15 years. I served in the US Navy as an aviator, operations officer, and civil engineer for 10 years and I run as well as ride horses to stay fit. I love to cook because it allows me to be creative while still making sure dinner gets on the table each night.
