Education

I graduated with a BS in Physics from SUNY Geneseo in New York. This is one of the premier undergraduate physics programs in America. After undergrad I received a PhD from SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Semiconductor Engineering. My thesis was titled "Design and Development of Stress Engineering techniques for III-Nitrides on Si". All of that will likely mean nothing to you but basically I worked on trying to put LED material on Si substrates to lower costs.

Experience

As an undergraduate I tutored physics and math for 3 years. I taught kids of all majors physics and really enjoyed it. I have also taught undergraduate labs in electricity and optics. As a graduate student I thought undergraduate classes and received rave reviews from the students. MY favorite part about science is how it impacts our every day life so I try to tie in every day examples to the topic at hand. I really feel there are a lot of bad science teachers out there. Many try teaching at too high of a level or think they are superior because they know science which hurts their ability to trust teach. I do everything in my power to make sure this doesn't happen.

Hobbies

I am a very relaxed person and love teaching science. I am very conceptual when it comes to teaching science and do everything I can to make sure people understand what is happening instead of just providing the answer. I have received rave reviews as a teacher. I hate equations in science because to me they can cloud your mind to what is physically happening. I like to understand the concepts and then add equations. In addition to science I love sports so if you get bored with science and wanna chat about the sports world I would love it. I can take about almost any sport or team so just fire away.
