I finished high school at the age of 16. I then studied Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech and graduated ranked 1st of 5794 students, with straight As and a 4.0 GPA. I graduated from Stanford University with an MBA as one of the youngest: at the age of 25. I absolutely love teaching! I was a Teacher Assistant for the Linear Algebra class at Georgia Tech and a Course Assistant for an Optimization Modeling in Python class at Stanford.
