I love helping students solve problems and communicate better.

I have also served as a primary instructor in college level courses on writing, music and popular culture, sound art, and music of Asia and Oceania. SAT II: 800 Writing, 800 Math IIC, 800 US History, above 750 on Biology, Physics, Chinese ACT: 34 AP: 5 in English, US History, Calculus, Biology, Physics, Spanish A's in Organic Chemistry, Biology, Multivariable Calculus/Differential Equations at Stanford. I was Editor-in-chief of my high school newspaper, valedictorian, won the California National Invitational in Expository Speaking, and music composition awards from Stanford University and American Society of Composers and Publishers. I played piano in Carnegie Hall (winning the Russell E Lanning competition) at age 9, and in 2011, had a chamber orchestra piece premiered there to favorable review in The New York Times. My music has been performed in 22 countries in venues such as the Guggenheim Bilbao, MCA Chicago, REDCAT, and the MOCA Geffen.
