I am a theoretical physicist and STEM educator who loves helping students build confidence in math, physics, and chemistry. I studied at the University of Chicago and Imperial College London and use an Oxbridge tutorial pedagogy that focuses on questions, discussion, and truly understanding the “why” behind each idea.

I have taught in a range of school settings, including The College Preparatory School in Oakland, which is consistently ranked among the top 10 high schools in the United States. At College Prep I designed and delivered engaging lessons in honors chemistry and calculus-based physics. I support students in physics, math, and chemistry using clear explanations and structured techniques that make challenging topics enjoyable.

Beyond teaching, I have conducted research in cosmology and theoretical physics and have published in leading scientific journals, including Classical and Quantum Gravity and Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. My research experience helps me break down complex ideas and show students how the concepts they learn in class connect to real scientific questions.
