Hi! My name is Zachary, and I am a Princeton University graduate hailing from the suburbs of Chicago. I have a passion for learning and helping others (especially my four younger siblings!) learn. I majored in Operations Research and Financial Engineering, with certificates in computer science and cognitive science. I also love history, political science, literature, linguistics, and philosophy! I am most thrilled to tutor either these subjects or more STEM-oriented subjects, or a combination of both.
I enjoy playing competitive chess, basketball, and hiking. In the summer of 2019, I conducted research in computational biology at the Max Planck Department of Collective Behavior. I was awarded the Princeton Shapiro Prize in Academic Excellence for my academic achievements in my sophomore year. I want to use a combination of applied math/statistics and creative problem solving to help the world, potentially through healthcare analytics.
