Why I Teach

I love to share my passion(s) with others. Education has been a cornerstone of my life and I strongly believe in giving back to the community. What’s better than having a lightbulb moment after spending hours thinking through a problem? Being able to create that same illumination within another student with a concise explanation.

Sample Materials

I enjoy consolidating information into concise and digestable notes. For example, here’s a course summary from my first statistical inference course. Some more examples:

• I recently put together a few notes on an Introduction to R Programming for a one-day short course.

• Here’s an example of some distributed algorithms notes I created for a course I helped teach.
