I hold a degree in Physics from Clarkson University, where I honed my passion for unraveling the mysteries of the universe. With a penchant for inquiry and discovery, I thrive on guiding students through the complexities of physics. My journey from Clarkson has equipped me with a deep understanding of theoretical concepts and practical applications. From classical mechanics to quantum theory, I am committed to fostering a deeper appreciation for the wonders of physics. With tailored approaches and engaging strategies, I aim to inspire curiosity and instill confidence in every student I teach. Let's explore the universe together.
