I have a BA in Mathematics from SUNY University at Buffalo, and my work background is mainly in Industrial Engineering.
I was recently accepted into MIT's blended Masters in Supply Chain Management program and have begun the pre-work phase before I head to campus in January. The first half of MIT's blended Masters - what I have included in my GPA - is the MITx on edX MicroMasters in Supply Chain Management, which I was officially awarded in April of this year. My grades can be seen here: https://credentials.edx.org/records/programs/shared/a5a8845d95f44ebdac9554e788b2d3cc/ Having enjoyed the course, I applied to be a volunteer Community Teaching Assistant (CTA) and was accepted to CTA the most recent run of SC1x, which just finished. I applied and was accepted again to CTA SC2x, which just started last Wednesday. CTAing requires me to use the discussion forums to identify any students with questions or comments and address them. These are giant classes with thousands of students, so there is a lot for our small CTA team to handle, but I was one of the most active CTAs, and students have said that they appreciated my work helping them understand the videos and how to solve practice problems. Both of these classes are math-heavy. I love helping students from around the world grasp concepts in these graduate-level courses by giving them the information they need to have that "lightbulb moment" where it all clicks.
I am also a self-employed quiz bowl moderator. I work as an independent contractor with a couple different organizations to essentially play Alex Trebek in front of two teams of 4 students as they compete in academic trivia. This is not your standard bar trivia - questions are difficult, and the format is as regulated as a sporting event. My role is to read questions in an engaging manner while enforcing the rules and maintaining an atmosphere of fun, competition, and good sportsmanship. I do this generally at the high school level, but every year I work at the middle school and collegiate levels as well.
I also have formal tutoring experience with colleagues' children as well as informal experience tutoring my friends and my younger cousins.
