Final presentation
I am a rising junior at Barnard College of Columbia University. I'm pursuing a major in Physics, with a minor in Urban Teaching. I believe that education is a key component in a person’s journey to becoming the best citizen, the best thinker, and the best person that they can be. I hope to create a world where every student, regardless of background, can gain a comfortability with and an appreciation for physics. My immediate goals are to teach high school physics, but I would love to engage in educational research, educational policy, or educational technology in the future.
When I am not working on problem sets, I tutor undergraduate physics and help my peers edit their essays as a Writing Fellow. I also spend a good portion of my time missing the cuisine and weather of my home, the San Francisco Bay Area. I am beyond excited for the adventures I’ll have and people I’ll meet this summer!
