About Me
I'm a second year graduate student at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, where I also got my Bachelor's degree in 2022. I'm currently working under Professor Joshua Clayton, assisting him with delivering lectures and leading workshop sessions for the Introduction to Computer Programming class at NYU Courant. You can best reach me through email or during my office hours (hours posted on class website).
Teaching Experience
New York University
I assist Professor Joshua Clayton in delivering lectures
to more than a hundred undergraduate students each
semester. My responsibilities encompass leading workshop
sessions, grading exams, and conducting weekly office
hours. The course covers a range of topics, including
Python basics, control structures, loops, file I/O,
dictionaries, and object-oriented programming (OOP).
I served as a teaching assistant for a combined
undergraduate and graduate section of Human-Computer
Interaction at NYU Tandon, under Professor Ray Lutzky. My
responsibilities included addressing student inquiries and
evaluating assignments. The course covered various topics,
such as affordances, personas, usability testing, service
design, and prototyping.
I was a tutor for Professor Joshua Clayton's Drawing on
the Web class. In this class, students explore ways in
which markup language, style language, and programming
language can be applied to generate interactive,
web-based graphics. I led weekly 5-hour tutoring
sessions, assisting students with topics such as SVG
animation, JavaScript, Web APIs, HTML Canvas, and WebGL.
I was a tutor for six sections of the Introduction to
Web Design class. Over the course of the semester, I
provided assistance to more than 130 students, guiding
them in mastering HTML/CSS basics, raster/vector
graphics, responsive design, and JavaScript. I also
worked as a grader for CSCI-UA 4 during the Spring 2021
(Professor Joshua Clayton) and Spring 2023 (Professor
Julie Lizardo) semesters.
Miscellaneous
I was an instructor/mentor to over 50 girls in grades 9-12
for
Generation Girl's holiday clubs. Each club spanned a week, culminating
in a final project presentation. I designed lesson plans
for all my classes, continuously refining them based on
student feedback. I covered the fundamentals of Python
(programming), the basics of website creation using HTML
and CSS (web development), as well as research and
prototyping using Figma (UI/UX Design).
I tutored eight college students in Math (Algebra and
Calculus), Programming (Python), and Music Theory. I
conducted weekly one-hour tutoring sessions for each
student and crafted customized lesson plans to enhance
their comprehension of the respective subjects.
