Instructor

About Me: I am a college student who enjoys math.

Fun Fact: I can solve a Rubik's cube with one hand.

Favorite Number, Why? 299,792,458, which is the speed of light in a vacuum. I think it's fascinating because we didn't even know light had a speed until the 17th century. We now know that it is the universal speed limit which nothing can break.

Why I like Mathnasium: Mathnasium teaches kids to love math instead of just memorizing it, which is something I want to be a part of.
