While she loves math, she especially loves helping those who are struggling to find their passion for math. She finds it rewarding to see a student walk in relatively clueless about a concept and walk out that much closer to becoming a genius. In her spare time, she loves singing and plans to become a Certified Indian Classical Music Vocalist by January 2022!
