I'm originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I'm currently writing this right now. I was born and raised here in the Land of Enchantment. I went to school at Oberlin College, a super liberal arts college in the middle of Ohio where I studied psychology, Asian American studies, and history. I was involved in lots of student organizations, mostly revolving around Asian American identity and issues. Although I didn't study math in college, I am a huge math nerd. I just found my soroban at home and will play with after I'm done.
After I graduated, I came back home and promptly left for Boston in the fall of 2009 to look for jobs. Boston offered more job opportunities, nonprofit organizations, and schools where I could work and/or continue my education. Truth is, I didn't really know what I wanted to be or do after I graduated college, who does?
After months of searching for jobs, I tried something different, I searched for tutoring opportunities in Boston and found MathPOWER and the afterschool tutoring program called MathSTARS. I met with the afterschool director and the next day, I was tutoring! Or more accurately, I was introduced to everyone and played Apples to Apples on my first day. As the year went on, I was then introduced to the Massachusetts Promise Fellowship, which MathPOWER is a partner host site. I applied to new positions for 2009-2010 year and got my current position as Math Rules! Coordinator. An excerpt from a personal bio "I found MPF, fell in love, and lived happily ever after."
