- TEACHING -
I love helping others learn about STEM and how accessible it can be. Below is a summary of teaching staff and organizations I have been a part of
"The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery."

poet, writer, and professor at Columbia University
Besides the positions I held below, you can check out various teaching events and organizations I helped with on the Media tab
TEALS Program Volunteer - Northwest High School
2020-21
"The Technology Education and Literacy in Schools (TEALS) program is a Microsoft Philanthropies program that connects classroom teachers with tech-industry volunteers, through remote and in classroom learning, to create sustainable CS and technology education programs."
During my time as a volunteer, I organized lessons, graded, and taught twice a week through a virtual meeting. With a pandemic and starting a new job, this definitely had challenges, but was worth it to help some students find a new passion.
EECS 280 - Intro to Data Structures
IA: Fall 2018, Winter 2018, Fall 2018
The EECS 280 staff, also known as the lobster crew, was a great team to be apart of. The class at the time was the second largest on campus with 1000+ students enrolled. Each instructional Aide was in charge of a two hour discussion which helped review lecture topics such as pointers, queues, and maps. We were responsible for answering piazza questions and holding office hours. During my time there, I also organized review sessions, managed lecture recordings, ordered T-shirts, and creating git videos as shown below :)
EECS 461 - Embedded Control Systems
IA: Winter 2019
GSI: Fall 2019, Winter 2020
For this course, the lab staff is in charge of two 3-hour labs on embedded controls topics such as CAN, bitwise functions, registers, and Simulink. We are ensure that the equipment is functioning properly and also write tutorials, lab questions, and instructions. The course also has a project which includes creating an autonmous virtual car which communicates with other stations in order to achieve auto-steering and automatic cruise control through simulink. For this course I also was awarded "Outstanding Instuctional Aide" from the department based on reviews from students (see media page for more info).
