Fall 2018 – Fall 2022
Senior Tutor @ Duke University
Durham, NC
As a graduate assistant for Duke's Peer Tutor Program (PTP), I complete admin tasks such as interviewing, onboarding, and training tutors to help the PTP thrive. After serving as a tutor my freshman year, I was promoted to senior tutor in 2019, becoming the lead undergrad tutor for the program until my latest promotion.
The PTP provides services—both in small group and individual peer tutorial sessions—that help hundreds of Duke students each semester. I led tutorials all four undergraduate years of college, working with students in classes such as Calculus Functions, Calc I, Calc II, Multivariable Calculus, and Linear Algebra.
I am also an ambassador for Duke's Academic Resource Center; I promote Duke's tutorial services and engaged in student-facing outreach activities.
Fall 2019 – Spring 2022
Teaching Assistant @ Duke University
Durham, NC
Spring 2022: ME 571 – Aerodynamics (graduate class)
Fall 2021: ME 331 – Thermodynamics
Spring 2021: EGR 224 – Electrical Fundamentals of Mechatronics
Fall 2019: EGR 103 – Computational Methods in Engineering
As a teaching assistant for EGR 103 at Duke, I aided students in a Python-based introductory programming class. While the curriculum was centered on engineering applications of Python, basic Matlab skills were also taught. I held office hours, explained Python fundamentals in detail, and graded assignments. I then served as a teaching assistant for EGR 224—a Mechatronics course geared towards sophomore mechanical engineering students—where I had similar duties. The following semester, I worked as a Thermodynamics TA for sophomore and junior mechanical engineering students. In my final undergraduate semester, I was a TA for the graduate class Aerodynamics.
