A little bit about me

Ever since grade 9, I have been passionate about Mathematics. I always received good grades and good feedback, encouraging me to enjoy it. In my grade 12 year, I took all three math courses (advanced functions, data management, calculus and vectors). I received solid grades in all the courses, allowing me to get into a mathematics program at Carleton, with a focus in Statistics. It wasn’t until after second year of university when I knew my passion wasn’t as much learning new Statistics material, but it was teaching material I already knew. This passion came about through peer tutoring, and tutoring of high school students. I really enjoy taking my love of math, and sharing it with others with a goal of having them enjoy what they’re doing. One of my proudest pieces of work in undergrad was my Honours Project. As seen in my description, I love hockey and math. I put these together and did a research project using statistical analysis on goaltenders in hockey to determine if there is a correlation between their Statistics and making the playoffs. Essentially, the goal was to see how important having a good goalie was. These are the kinds of things that Mathematics allows you to do, take your passion and extend it into Math!
