Academic Coach & Peer Tutor

Blinn College · Bryan, TX

Coaching students through the exact engineering and math gauntlet I came up through, turning "I'm lost" into "oh, that's how it works."

  • Tutored 50+ students in physics and math across 100+ sessions.
  • Built tailored study plans and explanations that improve exam readiness and conceptual understanding.
  • Strengthened my own fundamentals, because teaching a concept forces you to truly own it.

Engineering Foundations

Blinn College, then Texas A&M transfer

Completed 52 credit hours toward the engineering core with a 3.92 GPA, earning Chancellor's and Dean's List, before transferring into Computer Engineering at A&M.

// BEYOND THE BENCH

Engineering is a team sport

The part of the work that doesn't show up in a waveform: lifting other people up, and staying clear under pressure.

Mentoring

100+ tutoring sessions taught me that the clearest engineer in the room is usually the one who can explain it simply.

Performance Under Load

Leading a fast-food floor at full rush is real-time scheduling with humans: prioritize, delegate, recover, repeat.

Consistency

Carrying a full course load at A&M (3.92 GPA at Blinn) while working and tutoring: the discipline of showing up and doing it right.

// LET'S CONNECT

Always glad to talk hardware.

Digital design, RTL, verification, or a project we could build together. My inbox is open.
