I am a nature-loving philosopher with an affinity for math! In that light, I am an explorer; I enjoy discovering the inner workings of nature. The daily routine consists of resistance training, research, gardening, and mathematics… with boxing and electronics a couple of times per week. Favorite Number and why? 1. One is All. All is One. Favorite Math Joke: While most puns make me numb, math puns make me feel number. In 5 years, I will be... Teaching the world about number qualities through a new branch of mathematics that stems off of some of the most fundamental aspects of quantity itself.
I love Mathnasium because... It offers a systematic method for the instruction of mathematics that is highly efficient in improving the student’s cognizance of even the most fundamental aspects involved. I believe in Mathnasium.

I am a student at USD studying electrical engineering. I've lived in San Diego my whole life and hopefully will continue to. In my free time, I love to play volleyball, MTB, and hanging out with my friends and family. Favorite Number: My favorite number has to be e¹ because of how often it pops up everywhere! Sine, cosine, your money's interest, and imaginary numbers all rely on this crazy number Favorite Math Joke: What do you call a mathematician who spent all summer at the beach? A tan gent. In 5 years, I will be: Hopefully still pursuing a career in electrical engineering I love Mathnasium because ... watching a student slowly become confident in a topic from day to day reminds me of how much of an impact we are having.

I was born and raised here in San Diego and I'm currently a freshman at San Diego State studying psychology. I love spending time with friends and family. I also enjoy pilates, going on walks with my dog, and baking. Favorite Number: My favorite number is 9. My birthday is on the 9th, it was my soccer number growing up, and it has always been my lucky number. Favorite Math Joke: Why did the obtuse angle go to the beach? Because it was over 90 degrees. In 5 years, I will be: Graduating from college and beginning graduate school to further my education. I love Mathnasium because: I get to work with so many different students and help them to further develop a passion for math. Additionally, it's great to see students reach their goals and gain confidence in both themselves and math.

I am earning dual teaching credentials in Music and Math at San Diego State University. I've been living in San Diego my whole life. I enjoy playing the cello and cross-stitching in my free time. Favorite Number: My favorite number is 28 because it's my birthday number. Favorite Math Joke: Why was algebra so easy for the Romans? Because X always equals 10! In five years, I will be: Teaching kids to learn and love music! I love Mathnasium because: I can teach effectively to students and make a difference in their lives.

Lead Instructor
Although I am a San Diego native, I have studied Neuroscience in New York, worked in a laboratory in London, toured the country in a two-person production of A Christmas Carol, taught theater for Disney in Beijing, trained exotic animals in Seattle, even worked in a Mathnasium in Honolulu! Currently I am obtaining a Master's in Conservation at the San Diego Zoo. And guess what all these things have in common? Math! But feel free to ask me about almost anything. Favorite Number: Pi, because it has the best holiday. Favorite Math Joke: i says to pi: Be rational! pi says to i: Get real! In five years, I will be: Operating an outreach program to educate children about the awesomeness of opossums. I love Mathnasium because: The curriculum opens kids' eyes to how cool and useful their least favorite (often) subject can be. Math and opossums have a lot in common.

I’m from Mexico but I grew up in San Diego; something that has helped me greatly appreciate the beauty of it. I’m currently a freshman at Mesa Community College, and throughout the years I’ve found that my strengths lie in math. Outside of work and school, I like to be outside roller skating, hiking, or going to the beach. Favorite Number: My favorite number is 4. I’ve stuck with it since I was a kid, especially since its my birth month, plus I like the look of it. Favorite Math Joke: Did you hear about the mathematician who is afraid of negative numbers? He’ll stop at nothing to avoid them! In 5 years, I will be: Hopefully graduated from college, going into an environmental science or engineering career. But most importantly, doing some good for the world! I love Mathnasium because: It is such a welcoming environment where so many students are excited to learn. And the way we teach really allows them to understand the reasoning behind the math so they can gain independence.
