View Profile

I am a high school student in Long Beach, California who loves calculus, physics, and statistics. I genuinely believe that anyone can learn learn challenging topics like calculus and look forward to helping you on your math journey! When I attend university, I want to major in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering and love to mess around with engineering projects in my free time.
