Hello, my name is Braden! I graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering at the University of Oklahoma in 2019. I have a strong STEM background through my experience working in research within the energy industry. My experience leading hackathons led me to develop a strong passion for mentorship, and Mathnasium provides a perfect setting for developing strong math skills and ultimately growing confidence in one's own abilities. I didn't always have a good relationship with math, but through guidance from TAs and professors, I learned to love it. Outside of work, I love skateboarding and filming tricks with my friends. Math and skateboarding have one important thing in common, persistence!
